Hurricane Sandy Payments

Any nursing home that completed a Hurricane Sandy rconciliation survey should review its calculation sheet posted on the Health Commerce System (HCS).  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 payments made in mid-October.

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.
