# HAP (Health Alliance Plan)

> How to enroll in EFT/ERA and change your bank account for HAP (Health Alliance Plan), step by step.

**Portal:** [HAP (Health Alliance Plan)](https://www.hap.org/providers) · [About this portal](/reference/payers/hap)

<Note>
  Allow up to 4 weeks for enrollment. HAP sends a 1-cent test deposit to verify your account before live payments begin. Questions? Contact [accountspayable@hap.org](mailto:accountspayable@hap.org).
</Note>

## Enroll in EFT or update your bank account

These are sequential, each one depends on the last:

1. Go to [https://www.hap.org/providers](https://www.hap.org/providers) for general provider information.
2. Download the HAP Direct Deposit (EFT) Application using the button below.
3. Fill in: Provider/Vendor Tax ID (TIN/EIN), Provider Name, Address, EFT Contact Name, Phone, and Email.
4. Fill in your bank details: Financial Institution Name, City/State, 9-digit Routing Number, and Account Number.
5. Select enrollment type: New Enrollment, Change Enrollment, or Cancel Enrollment.
6. Have an authorized signer sign and date the completed form.
7. Attach a voided check (or bank letter on letterhead) to the PDF.
8. Email the completed form + voided check to [accountspayable@hap.org](mailto:accountspayable@hap.org).

## If you are switching banks

Re-run the enrollment above with the new account details. Until the change is
confirmed, payments continue to the old account, keep it open and sweep the
balance until deposits from HAP (Health Alliance Plan) appear in the new account. See
[Switch banks without missing a payer deposit](/guides/switch-banks) for the
full cutover checklist, and [EFT reassociation](/concepts/eft-reassociation)
for how to keep matching ERAs to deposits during the transition.
