New Requirements for All Billing Providers to Begin on August 22, 2013

The NYS Department of Health will soon require all billing providers to sign up for EFT payments and either ERA or PDF remittances. Beginning on August 22, 2013, and for the following 12 months, as your Electronic Transmitter Identification Number (ETIN) approaches its yearly expiration date, providers will be sent notifications instructing them to complete either or both of the application forms (EFT and ERA or PDF). If you are already signed up for both EFT and ERA or PDF remittances, you need only return the signed/notarized certification form. Failure to return the appropriate form(s) with the required Certification form will cause claims to be rejected. New Non-enrolled Providers will be required to submit a Certification Statement and an EFT Application form with their enrollment applications. Failure to submit the required forms will result in rejection of the enrollment application. Once enrolled, providers will be notified of the assigned ETIN and will be given 60 days to submit the ERA/PDF application.
