SDP SPARK ENROLLMENT - VENDOR/PROVIDER
SDP SPARK INVOICING PLATFORM:
To improve the efficiency, accuracy, and transparency of invoice processing, FMS Pay has partnered with SDP Spark, a secure online platform designed specifically for California’s Self-Determination Program.
This platform helps ensure that invoices are properly formatted and complete before they are submitted, which helps reduce processing delays and makes it easier for invoices to move quickly through the approval process.
Moving forward, vendors, participants and IFs will begin to submit invoices through SDP Spark instead of sending them directly to FMS Pay by email. After July 1, 2026 FMS Pay will no longer accept invoices via email.
Our goal is to make the approval process simple, clear, and
transparent — so you can spend less time on paperwork and more time focusing on what matters most, providing services to your participant(s).
Providers benefit from seeing their real time invoice processing/paid
status, for easier Accounts Receivable reconciliation. No more wondering where the invoice is in the approval and payment process.
If you have any questions or would like help getting
started, we’re always happy to assist. Please consider attending our weekly info sessions for
additional hands-on support.
