CMS-588 Electronic funds transfer (EFT)
EFT is a form of direct deposit that allows the transfer of Medicare payments directly from a Medicare contractor’s bank to a provider’s bank account. CMS requires that all providers enrolling or changing existing enrollment information must use EFT.
The EFT authorization agreement form may be submitted online through internet-based PECOS 
or downloaded from the CMS website https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/CMS-Forms/CMS-Forms/downloads/CMS588.pdf 
. The form must be complete, accurate, and include the original signature of the authorized/delegated official as well as the signature date. (Note: when submitting through internet-based PECOS, the EFT form is available for electronic signature).

Check the status of your application with the Enrollment status lookup
Complete and accurate applications will usually be processed within 45-60 days. You will receive a confirmation letter when all processing has been completed.
To check the status of your EFT application or any other provider enrollment application, you may use First Coast’s Enrollment status lookup. This versatile application allows you to check the status of your enrollment in the Medicare program in two ways. You may search for all pending applications by entering your National Provider Identifier (NPI) and provider transaction access number (PTAN), or you may check the status of a specific application by entering the 12-digit correspondence control number (CCN) and three-digit record number (listed in your acknowledgement letter).
