Electronic Payments for Non-VA Medical Care Providers
The U.S. Department of Treasury published a final rule on Electronic Funds Transfer (31 C.F.R. 208) on Dec. 21, 2010. This rule requires that all federal payments be made electronically. This requirement includes payments made to non-VA medical and dental providers. Non-VA medical care providers have two options to meet this requirement.
First, you can choose to receive payment by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). To enroll in EFT, you’ll need to complete a Vendor File Update Request form and fax it to 512-460-5221. Please note, converting from paper checks to EFT will reduce payment processing times. Please call the VA Financial Services Center at 512-460-5049 for more information.
A second option is the VA SmartPay Purchased Care Card Program. You can read more about that program below:
