    ProviderOne Payment Details

    In August of 2025, L&I began issuing payments to providers via a P1V id issued and maintained through ProviderOne. Prior to this change, providers were issued L&I payments by the Office of Financial Management using a Statewide Vendor number (SWV). L&I will no longer be issuing payments using the Statewide Vendor Number for providers enrolled in ProviderOne.

    If you were receiving payments via EFT from L&I, and did not update your EFT information in ProviderOne, you will receive your payment in the mail. If you would like to continue EFT payments, follow the below instruction to add your EFT details into ProviderOne.

    Who doesn't need to take action?

    Servicing-Only Providers (those who bill through a group), and ProviderOne Exempt providers (such as Interpreters, Health Services Coordinators, and Delegated groups) are not issued P1V numbers and further action is not needed.
