Bureau of Early Intervention Provider Approval Staff have
been revising addresses in NYEIS so that they comply with the rules set by
HIPAA 5010, Excellus, and Emdeon.
The rules include the following:
· Addresses must be formatted as listed with the United States Post Office
(https://tools.usps.com/go/ZipLookupAction_input).
This includes the use of Zip+4 Codes, abbreviations, punctuation, and the
number of lines used when recording an address.
· Physical Addresses:
o Cannot
contain a PO Box.
o Must
contain a Zip+4 Code. If none then +9999 is utilized.
· Billing and Claiming Addresses:
o Required
if payments are sent to a different address than what is recorded as Physical
Address. If a Billing and Claiming address and Physical Address are the same
all formatting must match.
o Can
contain a PO Box.
o Must
be a verified address.
o Must contain a Zip+4 Code.
***We strongly suggest that you do
not revise your Billing and Claiming Address in NYEIS. Rather contact the
Provider Approval Unit (provider@health.ny.gov
or 518-473-7016, press 1 when prompted) to ensure that the address is formatted
correctly.***
If you have any questions please contact provider@health.ny.gov.
