Please do not ask providers who purchased your software for processing New York State Medicaid Transactions to enroll and test on the New York Medicaid HIPAA testing web site. If you are a Software Vendor and supplying software to providers to use for submitting HIPAA compliant transactions to New York State Medicaid, you, as the Software Vendor, need to enroll for testing, and you, not the providers purchasing your software, MUST test all relevant transactions, Once you have successfully completed testing and validating your HIPAA compliant transactions, you (Software Vendor) will need to periodically check the New York Medicaid HIPAA Web Site for Companion Guide updates which may require that you update your software to accommodate published changes.

As a Software Vendor you may test using one of your provider's ETINs, or you may submit a request to Computer Sciences Corporation for a Temporary ETIN. The contact telephone number is 800-343-9000. You will need to choose the option for enrollment.

Your providers are NOT to enroll on the New York Medicaid HIPAA Web Site.
