Electronic Fund Transfers (EFT) is a method of bi-monthly payment offered by CenCal Health to our participating contracted providers, this free service provides convenience and savings.

EFT automatically credits payments due for healthcare services performed directly to your savings or checking account. This payment method replaces issuing a paper check for various payment types, including or related to claims processing, i.e. EOPs, Capitation and Incentive payments.

CenCal Health is pleased to announce that beginning on November 1, 2022, we are partnering with Wells Fargo to manage the enrollment and update process for Automated Clearing House (ACH), also known as Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).

Effective November 1, 2022, all new requests to enroll in or change your EFT information will be processed by Wells Fargo via their Supplier Analysis and Onboarding platform. Providers not currently enrolled in EFT will soon receive an “ACH Outreach” letter from Wells Fargo with instructions on how to enroll. CenCal Health recommends all providers enroll in EFT to ensure that you continue to receive timely payments, increase fraud protection, and simplify reconciliation.

This change will not impact providers who are already enrolled in EFT with CenCal Health unless you are making an update to your EFT information after this date. Claim payment information continues to be available through our Provider Portal.

Please do not hesitate to contact our CenCal Health Provider Services Department with questions at psrgroup@cencalhealth.org or by phone at (805) 562-1676.
