CIC is a New York Workers Compensation Board Authorized XML Submission Partner
having proven compliance with the Board's requirements for the electronic
submission of the EC-4NARR and have executed the required legal agreement with
the Workers' Compensation Board.
CIC is the only Clearinghouse in the Country to be certified for electronic submission of both the:
EC-4NARR
AMR
Medical providers who do not use the new C-4 forms, on or after, April
1, 2009 will be penalized. If the medical provider fails to submit the correct
Board prescribed form, the liable self-insured employer, insurance carrier,
third-party administrator, Re-opened Case Fund, or the State Insurance Fund is
not required to pay the medical provider for any examinations, services and/or
treatments included in the documentation submitted. In addition, the Board will
investigate why the doctor is not using the correct new form and if warranted
issue an administrative warning or commence temporary suspension or revocation
proceedings.
The Board changed the new C-4 to strengthen the entire workers'
compensation system for all parties, providers included. More information is now
gathered up front for each case. This will reduce the number of disputed cases,
so benefits will flow more quickly to injured workers and provider reimbursement
will arrive faster. This increased emphasis on information accelerates the pace
of all cases, so benefits across the system should see less delay. The four
page C-4 will only be accepted if mailed to the Board. The EC-4NARR may be
submitted directly to the Board electronically through your existing medical
billing software utilizing the services of CIC. The EC-4 NARR will also be
accepted by ALL Workers' Compensation carriers as a universal bill both
electronically and via the mail.
The New York State Workers'
Compensation Board created the EC-4 NARR to allow providers to submit their own
supporting medical records in the provider's unique format. The EC-4NARR
is
similar to the HCFA-1500 with a medical report. When submitted electronically
with supporting documents, the new EC-4 NARR is much quicker and easier to use.
CIC will submit a single bill and supporting documents electronically to the
New York Workers Compensation Board at a cost usually less than a stamp. |
