Hurricane Sandy Payments

DOH has posted a Hurricane Sandy calculation sheet on the HCS for each home that completed the reconciliation survey.  The calculation sheet highlights any discrepancies between information submitted on the survey and eMedNY data.  The letter explaining the calculation sheet and instructions on how to make edits or changes is posted here.  Changes must be submitted no later than Oct. 7.  The email notice sent by DOH is copied below.  Payment adjustments to homes whose survey information fully matched eMedNY data have been processed and should be reflected in Medicaid payment cycle 1883 (scheduled for release on 10/9/2013).

From DOH:  The Department of Health has finalized our calculations for the Hurricane Sandy Medicaid Payment Reconciliation. We have posted each facility's specific calculation sheet to the Health Commerce System (HCS) which is organized by Operating Certificate Number. Each facility should carefully read the administrative letter attached to understand the material in the calculation sheet. They are posted only for those who treated Medicaid patients and submitted the payment survey last February. 

As mentioned in the administrative letter, we only want to receive files if a facility makes any changes/edits to their survey file on the "Adjustment form". If there are no changes needed, then please DO NOT submit anything to our bureau email. If we do not receive any files by the specified date, then we will assume there are no changes needed and that the original data sent is accurate to the best of the facilities knowledge.

Any questions/concerns or if a facility needs to submit their file (EXCEL format only) with edits/changes made, please email BVAPR@health.state.ny.us.
