Important Notice to Providers!

HIPAA Exception Processing ended December 29,2004. If you
have been granted a hardship exemption to continue processing
non-HIPAA claims and other transactions, and are continuing
to send proprietary transactions to NY Medicaid, be advised
that non-HIPAA transactions will be rejected after March 23,
2005!
If you are still experiencing difficulty with your conversion
to HIPAA, and were unable able to meet the December 29 deadline,
call the HIPAA Support Helpline at 1-800-522-5518. The State
will evaluate your HIPAA readiness, and may make special arrangements
to provide relief for providers that are making a sincere
effort to migrate to HIPAA.
To expedite the process, a HIPAA Hardship Application Form
can be downloaded here.
The Form contains instructions and fax information.
