Hi Marsha: You might feel more comfortable realizing that the customer's bank account number appears on the bottom of paper check today. The ACH network is as secure as the mail and there would be little reason to send banking data in an 835 not sent through the banks. Are you concerned about unauthorized debits against your customer's accounts? There are banking industry standards and practices (some with related non-HIPAA X12 standards) to deal with those risks that are supported by many, if not most, banks. Good luck.

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