PART V: AUTHORIZATION
I hereby authorize the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to initiate credit entries, and in accordance
with 31 CFR part 210.6(f) initiate adjustments for any duplicate or erroneous entries made in error to the account
indicated above. I hereby authorize the financial institution/bank named above to credit and/or debit the same
to such account. CMS may assign its rights and obligations under this agreement to CMS’ designated Medicare
Administrative Contractor (MAC). CMS may change its designated contractor at CMS’ discretion.
If payment is being made to an account controlled by a Chain Home Office, the Provider of Services hereby
acknowledges that payment to the Chain Office under these circumstances is still considered payment to the
Provider, and the Provider authorizes the forwarding of Medicare payments to the Chain Home Office.
If the account is drawn in the Physician’s or Individual Practitioner’s Name, or the Legal Business Name of the
Provider/Supplier, the said Provider/Supplier certifies that he/she has sole control of the account referenced
above, and certifies that all arrangements between the Financial Institution and the said Provider/Supplier are in
accordance with all applicable Medicare regulations and instructions.
This authorization agreement is effective as of the signature date below and is to remain in full force and effect
until CMS has received written notification from me of its termination in such time and such manner as to afford
CMS and the Financial Institution a reasonable opportunity to act on it. CMS will continue to send the direct
deposit to the Financial Institution indicated above until notified by me that I wish to change the Financial
Institution receiving the direct deposit. If my Financial Institution information changes, I agree to submit to CMS an
updated EFT Authorization Agreement.
