On Nov. 27, payments for the 2024 Hospital Fee Program, fee-for-service payment cycle 6, are due to the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), which mailed invoices to hospitals on Oct. 28. DHCS prefers that hospitals make fee payments via electronic funds transfer (EFT), but it still accepts wire transfers. As of June 1, 2023, DHCS has been processing EFTs, including wire payments, through U.S. Bank. For payments sent via wire, please use the U.S. Bank wire instructions. To notify DHCS directly, ask questions, or request an electronic copy of your invoice, email qaf@dhcs.ca.gov.
