EFT is a free and secure way for you to receive your payments faster. You ll no longer have to wait for checks to arrive in the mail. Aetna can issue EFT s to all healthcare provider types, including those receiving capitation. And, EFT doesn t change our overpayment policies and procedures. If you are overpaid, we ll send you a letter asking for a refund by check. Use the following guide when completing your enrollment form. Fields with an asterisk are required; sections left blank or illegible will delay processing. The following is a reference guide only, do not fax with the completed enrollment form.
2 Please use one enrollment form per tax ID and fax multiple enrollment requests separately. If you would like us to deposit EFT payments into multiple bank accounts for the same TIN, complete a separate form for each account. Include your NPI# on the enrollment form. Only one NPI is needed. If you have checked the box 'Split by Billing NPI', be sure to list the additional NPIs in that section. Include a copy of a pre-printed voided check or bank letter. Deposit slips and starter checks are not accepted. We cannot process your enrollment without this information. If you are requesting EFT for your capitated payments, you must be set up for capitation. You only need to complete one form if the bank account is the same for both Medical and Capitation claim payments. Capitation payments made under a single TIN can only be deposited into one bank account.
3 The enrollment form must be signed by two people, an authorized healthcare professional (MD, CFO, CEO), AND a supervisor-level authorized personnel (office manager, billing manager). If a sole proprietorship, only one signature is needed. If you want to receive an email notification each time a new EFT is generated, please check the appropriate box on the form and clearly print your authorized email address. To ensure delivery of e-mail notifications, please add to your address book. EFT e-mail notifications are sent when EFT is active and a claim has been processed where payment has been issued. Requests to unsubscribe or change /update your e-mail address must be submitted through our secure provider website.
