Getting Started
- In order to receive initial payments, providers must first have an encumbered contract and be registered as a vendor with the state of Maine (see Vendor Form).
- Initial payments are often delayed if providers have not signed and returned their contract to the Department of Contract Management.
Payment Methods
- Providers will receive a paper check from ME DHHS until they are registered for either Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or for PayMode.
- Checks will be mailed to the address and individual specified on the provider’s vendor form.
- To have payments submitted electronically instead of by check, complete and submit the EFT Form to vcddforms@maine.gov or enroll in PayMode.
- Learn more on how to complete and submit your EFT form, or register for Paymode by reviewing the webinar materials.
Common Payment Issues
- The provider did not sign and return their encumbered contract.
- The provider did not receive the mailed check because their Vendor form on file contains outdated information.
- The provider did not receive a payment via EFT due to incorrect information on their submitted EFT form or the information did not match the provider’s Vendor Form.
- The provider has overdue program or financial reports.
Support for Missing Payments
Providers should reach out to CDC-OPHE-Support@maine.gov for any issues regarding payments or for support in completing any forms.
