Tips to Prevent Rejection of Yearly Certification Forms

New York Medicaid policy requires that each provider annually certify their connection with their Electronic Transmitter Identification Number (ETIN). If the certification is not renewed annually, claims and other transactions will be rejected on the expiration date.

During each 12-month period, eMedNY distributes two renewal notices accompanied by a preprinted certification statement with the provider and ETIN information listed on the form. The first notice is sent 45 days prior to the date the yearly decertification will take place and a second notice is sent 30 days prior to the decertification date.

Please contact the eMedNY Call Center at (800) 343-9000.
