Holiday Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) Payment Schedule
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont·VT·Provider News
Effective date
Oct 1, 2026
We identified it
Jun 19, 2026
Summary
Blue Cross VT is discontinuing paper check payments effective October 1, 2026. All providers must enroll in Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) before this deadline to ensure uninterrupted receipt of claim payments. After October 1, 2026, paper checks will no longer be issued.
Action Required
By October 1, 2026: Billing team and practice management must complete EFT enrollment with Blue Cross VT to ensure continuous payment processing. Visit the enrollment page at https://www.bluecrossvt.org/providers/provider-news-updates or contact provider relations at (888) 449-0443 option 1 or providerrelations@bcbsvt.com to sign up. Failure to enroll before the deadline will result in payment disruption—the practice will not receive paper checks after October 1, 2026, and claims payments will not be processed until EFT enrollment is completed. This change applies to all payers and requires immediate action with only 60 days remaining from the policy publication date (August 1, 2026).
