Service Coordination Insurance Tool Kit Reissued

Dear Colleague:

As a result of amendments to Public Health Law enacted in 2012, that became effective in January and April, 2013, service coordinators in the Early Intervention Program (EIP) have expanded responsibilities. In an effort to assist service coordinators with the performance of these duties, the Department issued the Service Coordination Tool Kit on April 26, 2013. 

Based on feedback from the EIP municipal and provider community, the Service Coordination Insurance Tool Kit has been updated and improved. This tool kit includes expanded guidance and improved templates for collection of insurance information, consent/release of information, direction for sharing of insurance information between service coordinators and providers, etc. 

Service coordinators should begin utilizing the guidance and the standardized templates contained in this tool kit immediately.

Please share this information with colleagues involved in the EIP.

We hope that you find the information contained in the tool kit helpful. If you have any additional questions, please call (518) 473-7016 or submit an e-mail to bei@health.state.ny.us.
