It would seem to me that the exposure to fraud is the same, whether it is your own account number on the 835 or the customers account number. Thanks for raising the issue. It would appear that review of the banking relationships and existing procedural protections against unauthorized disbursals might need to be strengthened in contractual agreements with the banks. This is one of those new risks that just happens when something like HIPAA comes along.

Does anyone else do this and are you uncomfortable with putting your customers bank account number on the 835 to the provider?
