The following information was released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on May 30, 2012, updating the original new flash from December 16, 2011:
Existing regulations at 42 CFR 424.510(e)(1)(2) require that at the time of enrollment, enrollment change request, or revalidation, providers and suppliers that expect to receive payment from Medicare for services provided must also agree to receive Medicare payments through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Section 1104 of the Affordable Care Act further expands Section 1862(a) of the Social Security Act by mandating federal payments to providers and suppliers only by electronic means.
As part of CMS's revalidation efforts, all suppliers and providers who are not currently receiving EFT payments are required to submit the CMS-588 EFT form with the Provider Enrollment Revalidation application, or at the time any change is being made to the provider enrollment record by the provider or supplier, or delegated official.
For more information about provider enrollment revalidation, click here to review the MLN Matters Special Edition Article SE1126, "Further Details on the Revalidation of Provider Enrollment Information."
