Information on 1099 Tax Forms for 2017

Provider
In accordance with Federal Law, Providers who received payments for Early Intervention Services in the 2017 calendar year should expect to receive a number of 1099 forms as noted below. Those forms were mailed to Providers on or before January 31, 2018.

Providers will receive a 1099 from New York State Department of Health via the State Fiscal Agent (SFA), for amounts from the State Escrow account in 2017 (*see details below), a 1099 from Medicaid, and a 1099 from each insurance company (**see details below).

The Department and the SFA have informed insurance companies and Medicaid that they need to create a 1099 for billing Providers. During the 1099 creation process, there are procedures in place that help validate the accuracy of Provider information on 1099s such as Provider Name and Tax Identification Number (TIN) with the IRS. During the 1099 creation process, if there are any errors that prevent a 1099 from being issued to a Provider, the Provider will immediately be contacted by the SFA to verify and resolve any data discrepancies.

*The SFA will not issue a 1099 to a Provider that received less than $600 in payments from the State Escrow account during the 2017 calendar year.

**A Provider may not automatically receive a 1099 from an insurance company where that Provider billed less than $600 during the 2017 calendar year. If a Provider wishes to obtain a 1099 from an insurance company for payments of less than $600 in the 2017 calendar year, they can do so by contacting the insurer directly.
