What’s happening: Payments for the 2022 Hospital Fee Program, managed care July-December directed payment cycle, are due to the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) on Aug. 28.
What else to know: DHCS mailed invoices to hospitals in July. CHA encourages those at risk of not paying their invoices in full by Aug. 28 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), but 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 use the U.S. Bank wire instructions.
It is critical that all hospitals pay their invoices in full and on time. To notify DHCS directly, ask questions, or request an electronic copy of your invoice, email qaf@dhcs.ca.gov.
