This business process flow shows the high-level steps utilized to enter mass payments for multiple consumers for a single provider.
Send in an invoice to the local DCF office for multiple participants they provided services for during the previous month.
Verify the invoice contains accurate billing information for the service provided.
If the invoice is correct:
Route the invoice information to the Operations Staff
If the invoice is incorrect:
Return the invoice to the Provider and work with the Regional Provider Agreement Manager to get the invoice corrected and ready to send to the Operations Staff.
Receive the invoice and perform a search for the provider in the Resource Databank.
Select the provider with a ‘Smart Vendor’ Service Type from the Resource Search page.
Select the ‘Smart Vendor’ service from the Service List page.
Access the Mass Payment page and indicate an aid code, the case number, case name, need category, need type, amount, and begin and end dates for each participant.
Upon clicking the ‘Approve’ button, KEES automatically creates the service arrangement and issues the payment request.
Payments related to Provider Services will be processed in KEES.
A need and service arrangement should only be set up at the time of payment in an effort to avoid creating duplicate needs and service arrangements when Employment Services Mass Payments are completed.
Approving a Mass Payment also authorizes each individual payment request for processing by SMART.
The Begin and End dates for a payment entry defaults with the current date and current date + 1, respectively.
Only one aid code can be selected at a time. This means the selected aid code will apply to all payments entered on the page.
Aid Codes include:
TAF Employment Svs: Use this to issue payments related to Work Programs services
ET: Use this to issue payments related to FAET services
