The current claiming method used by Billing Providers in NYEIS will be carried over to the EI-Hub. Billing Providers can switch claiming methods after the EI-Hub launch on October 15, 2024, by contacting the Call Center at 866-315-3747. When contacting the Call Center, you will be asked to provide your name/agency, NPI, TIN, and name of your third-party vendor, if applicable.
If your agency currently submits claims manually via NYEIS and will be using Service Logging to submit claims in the EI-Hub, it is crucial to understand the following to ensure uninterrupted billing once the EI-Hub is formally launched on October 15, 2024. All rendering providers must have a Health Commerce System (HCS) account and an EI-Hub Case Management user role to become active and available for selection on Service Authorizations in the Service Logging module. This account setup is required for entities to enter claims and bill for services delivered by their rendering providers. Please follow the link for more details.
Following the launch of the EI-Hub, providers should include a telehealth modifier on all relevant claims. This modifier will help quantify the number of children receiving telehealth services. This article outlines how providers should add the modifier, depending on the billing and claiming method used. Please follow the link for more details.
In preparation for the transition to the EI-Hub, the Bureau of Early Intervention’s (BEI) Provider Approval Unit (PAU) will stop accepting paper re-approval applications several weeks prior to the EI-Hub launch. Once the EI-Hub launches, providers will be able to submit their re-approval requests directly through the EI-Hub provider management module. A communication was sent to stakeholder on 06/24/2024 with revised transition deadlines based on an October 15, 2024 launch date for EI-Hub. For more information, please follow the link.
BEI released communications announcing that the EI-Hub system launch was rescheduled to October 15, 2024. Please follow the link to view the formal communication.
