Updated Information on Medicaid Requirements for EI Billing
Dear Colleague:
The Bureau of Early
Intervention has been informed of two additional procedures which must be
completed by Early Intervention Program (EIP) providers with an Appendix 1
provider agreement and enrolled as billing providers in the Medicaid Program.
1. Service Bureau Certification
As you know, McGuinness Associates, Inc., (McGuinness) is serving as the
interim State Fiscal Agent for fiscal management of the EIP. McGuinness
is enrolled as a service bureau with the Office of Health Insurance Program and
has received a Medicaid provider ID and ETIN for use in submission of claims to
the Medicaid Program for adjudication. For McGuinness to submit claims on
behalf of an EIP provider, the EIP provider must complete a
certification process to associate the provider with the McGuinness ETIN.
If you completed an
Appendix 1 with your provider agreement, and your enrollment as a billing
provider in the Medicaid Program has been completed, with you will receive or may already
have received, an email from EIBilling/McGuinness with the required
certification form, and instructions for completing, notarizing, and returning
the certification form to Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC). Please
note that the certification form is pre-populated with the McGuinness ETIN information
and the billing provider’s information. The form must be printed, signed,
notarized and returned to CSC to authorize McGuinness to submit claims on
behalf of the provider. If you do not receive an email by close of
business today, Tuesday May 7, 2013, please send an email to ProviderSupport@EIBilling.com to verify or correct your
email address.
2. Rendering Provider Association
with Agency Billing Provider NPI
The Medicaid Program requires Agency Billing Providers to
associate providers rendering services on behalf of the agency, including both
employees and subcontractors, with the billing provider’s NPI. McGuinness
Associates has agreed to work with the Department to use data from the New York
Early Intervention System (NYEIS) to batch upload employees and subcontractors
affiliated with agency providers into the eMedNY system. Therefore, no
action is necessary on the part of agency billing providers to complete this
association process.
Providers are encouraged to update and maintain information in NYEIS regarding
their current employees and subcontractors.
Thank you.
