CMS recently issued updated instructions for contractors to follow when
contacting providers on EFT who have failed to respond with a completed EFT
application as requested. To comply with these new instructions, we have
taken the listing of those that are on EFT and compared to our database of
ones that completed and returned the EFT applications as requested. Providers
who have not returned a new completed EFT application are being mailed a
letter indicating that they must respond to us by July 24th or their provider
number will be placed on DNF. If they fail to respond 90 days after the DNF
has been placed, their number will be deactivated. The letters were mailed
late last week.
