  "title": "Healthcare pays by EFT. Changing the EFT is a phone call and a form.",
  "summary": "Provider payments move by EFT, and the change that redirects them is processed as routine paperwork. The control belongs to the payer, not the practice.",
  "lede": "A practice does not find out that its payments were redirected on the day it happens. It finds out three weeks later, during reconciliation, when someone notices that a payer which deposits money every Tuesday has stopped. By then the window has closed. This is a walk through why healthcare payment diversion is unusually slow to detect, why the practice is the wrong party to fix it, and what a control at the payer's enrolment endpoint would actually look like.",
