Annual Medicaid Recertification and Mandatory Electronic Fund Transfer of Medicaid Payments

**Update May 6, 2014** - This transmittal replaces the guidance/email provided March 3, 2014. Please note we are providing a correction to the PCG ETIN and additional Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) information.


Dear EI Billing Providers:

This transmittal replaces the guidance/email provided March 3, 2014. Please note we are providing a correction to the PCG ETIN and additional Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) information.

Medicaid Annual Recertification Correction

Recertification is a Medicaid process that links the billing provider to Public Consulting Group's ETIN (00E8) and is required on a yearly basis. Computer Science Corporation (CSC)/eMedNY will send out a pre-filled Certification Form 45 days prior to the expiration of each billing provider's current certification. The billing provider's current certification date is one year from when the provider previously certified. Computer Sciences Corporation is Medicaid’s contractor.

The Recertification Form will be pre-filled with the following information: the PCG ETIN (00E8), billing service name Public Consulting Group, Inc., as of date, provider name, 10-digit NPI, and the 8-digit MA provider ID number. Please enter a current certification date on your form as CSC cannot process a recertification form with a date more than 11 months in past or 50 days in future.


Again, the Public Consulting Group (PCG) ETIN that should appear on the Medicaid Annual Recertification Form is 00E8.

If a provider does not receive the pre-filled form, the attached form can be used. You will need to enter the date you are submitting the form, the billing provider name and NPI. The form needs to be signed and notarized and the original must be mailed to CSC at the following address: 

CSC 
PO Box 4614 
Rensselaer, NY 12144 

Please call the eMedNY Call Center at 1 (800) 343-9000 with any questions you may have or visit www.emedny.org for additional information.

Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) of Medicaid Payments

If you have not already signed up for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for your Medicaid payments you are urged to do so right away. 

Please be aware of the following common errors that will result in the rejection of the EFT form:
1. An original voided check or, if the account does not have checks, an original notarized bank letter is required.

2. The tax ID entered on the form must be the tax ID you submitted with your Medicaid enrollment application when you first enrolled in Medicaid. 
3. The EFT form must contain an original signature.
4. The bank account information entered on the form must match the routing and account numbers on the voided check or in the bank letter. 
Please complete all fields. 

For those providers who currently receive payments via EFT, they will have no additional paperwork and will receive payments as they do today.

If a provider has any additional questions, they should call the eMedNY Call Center at 1 (800) 343-9000 or visit www.emedny.org.
