CMS Pub. 100-24, ch. 5, § 5.6.1.1
Pay.gov Background
The Treasury developed Pay.gov to meet its commitment to process collections electronically
using internet technologies. Pay.gov is a secure, web-based collection portal and states can use
it to make Medicare premium payments to CMS. Users can access the portal from any computer
with internet access.
When states pay their Medicare premiums using Pay.gov, the transactions are processed as an
Automated Clearing House (ACH) direct payment debit. ACH collections are processed by the
Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland with settlement usually occurring the next business day.
