Providers and billing organizations doing business with Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) must enroll with MHCP to receive payment for services provided to MHCP members.

Electronic funds transfer (EFT) or direct deposit

MHCP recommends all providers sign up to be paid through EFT or direct deposit. EFT payments are a convenient alternative to receiving paper checks and feature many advantages. 

EFT payments are:

• Faster – You can access your funds quicker. You don’t have to wait for a check to arrive and you don’t have to make a trip to the bank to make a deposit.
• Safer – You won’t deal with lost, stolen or misdirected checks.
• Easier – You can manage cash flow with less paperwork.

Providers who want to be paid through EFT from MHCP must have an active 10-digit supplier ID and a 3-digit supplier location code assigned from Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB).  

To obtain a supplier ID, follow these steps:

1. Go to Minnesota Supplier Portal website and select “Register for an Account” and register as a “New Supplier,” if you do not already have a supplier ID.
2. To add or update banking information to an existing supplier ID via the Supplier Portal, refer to Update Supplier Profile or you can submit the MMB EFT Bank Change Request (PDF).  If you have questions whether your supplier ID is active for direct deposit, call MMB at 651-201-8106.
3. It will take 10 business days after adding your banking information before your supplier ID becomes active. After that, enter your EFT supplier ID and supplier location code using our online Minnesota Provider Screening and Enrollment (MPSE) portal, or fax a completed EFT Supplier ID Notification (DHS-3725) (PDF) to Provider Eligibility and Compliance at 651-431-7462. 

MHCP will start to enroll managed care organizations (MCOs) in-network providers in 2023.  More information will come at a later date.  At this time no action is required.
