| What is The Claims Address For New York Medicaid |
The All-Important Question: Where Do Those Claims Go?
The answer, my friend, depends on where that pesky bill came from. Buckle up, because we're about to explore the fascinating world of claim addresses!
In-state hero? High five! If you're a New York-based medical provider, your claims go to eMedNY. Remember that name, because it's about to become your new best friend (though hopefully less needy than a real friend). Here's the address for regular mail: eMedNY, P.O. Box 4601, Rensselaer, NY 12144-4601. But if you're feeling fancy (or your claim is super urgent), you can use the expedited address: eMedNY, 327 Columbia Turnpike, Rensselaer, NY 12144.
Out-of-state adventurer? We salute your bravery! If you're a provider from outside the Big Apple, things get a tad different. In this case, you'll need to contact the New York State Department of Health to get the proper enrollment package. Think of it like getting your New York Medicaid passport stamped. You can find their info on the department's website (https://www.health.ny.gov/).
Remember: Double-check the address before hitting send! A misplaced claim is like a misplaced sock - frustrating and a pain to find.
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
Bonus Tip: There's an App for That (Probably)
While there might not be a specific app for sending Medicaid claims (yet!), there's a good chance your electronic health record (EHR) system has a claims submission feature. Check with your software provider to see if they offer this handy service. It could save you a whole lot of paper cuts and frustration.
