Early Intervention Interim Billing and Claiming Process
The purpose of this communication is to introduce EI Providers to the interim
billing and claiming process effective as of April 1, 2013. This is the
first in a series of communications bulletins intended to coordinate EI
Provider migration to the new process. The planned set of communication
bulletins will include:
· How to
Submit EI Billing after 4/1/2013
· How to
Enter Paper Insurance Remittances/EOB
· How to
Resolve Workable Rejections & Denials
· How to
View the Status of CLAIMS
A New
Website
A new website https://www.EIBilling.com has been
developed. Access to the billing functionality at this website requires
proper login credentials. Those credentials are being emailed to EI
providers separately. This website will serve as the focal point for
Providers, Counties, DOH, and the interim fiscal process.
NYEIS Billing
There is no change to enter billing for children enrolled in NYEIS. If a
provider uses the NYEIS data entry screens to enter billing, simply continue to
do so. If a provider uses in-house software or 3rd party software to
electronically transmit billing to NYEIS, simply continue to do so. The
interface from NYEIS to the interim fiscal process is seamless.
KIDS Billing
For services provided to children enrolled in KIDS, there are three (3) options
for entering billing. First, the ability to process a KIDS “disk billing”
file has been preserved. Those providers who have been using KIDS “disk
billing” can continue to do so. Second, the interim fiscal process will offer
an EXCEL template that can be used to enter attendance off-line. Third,
web based attendance entry is available at the new website.
Training
Details of how to navigate this new website will be depicted in a training
webinar. A link to this training webinar will be emailed to providers in
the very near future.
In the coming weeks there will be webinars on these interim procedures so that
the reimbursement process can continue.
