What’s happening: Payments for the Hospital Quality Assurance Fee program 8 directed payment are due to the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) by April 8.
What else to know: Invoices were mailed to hospitals from DHCS on March 24. It is critical that all hospitals pay their invoices in full and on time. CHA encourages those at risk of not paying their invoices in full by April 8 to notify DHCS in advance of the due date about any financial hardship.
DHCS prefers fee payments to be made via electronic funds transfer (EFT). However, wire transfers are still accepted. As of June 1, 2023, DHCS has begun processing EFTs, including wire payments, through U.S. Bank. For payments sent via wire, please refer to the U.S. Bank wire instructions.
To notify DHCS directly of financial hardship, ask questions, or request an electronic copy of your invoice, email qaf@dhcs.ca.gov.
