Overcoming EI-Hub Challenges

By October 31, 2024No Comments

Now that the EI-Hub is live, providers are navigating various challenges. These hurdles can impact daily operations, overall efficiency, and service delivery. Here’s a closer look at some of these issues and how ProviderSoft is stepping up to support New York providers.

Service Logging Inefficiency

Manual service logging within the EI-Hub can cause significant delays, as it processes one claim at a time. In contrast, electronic files can handle thousands of claims simultaneously, vastly reducing remittance delays. Since the launch of the EI-Hub, ProviderSoft’s clients have successfully processed over 100,000 claims, resulting in $7.5 million submitted for payment. This shift to electronic processing significantly increases payment speed and enhances overall efficiency.

System of Record Requirement

The lack of a comprehensive record system in the EI-Hub complicates audits and compliance, requiring agencies to maintain separate documentation systems. ProviderSoft addresses this by offering a built-in documentation module that acts as a secure record system, simplifying audit preparation and ensuring compliance with regulations.

Lack of a Case Sheet for Providers

Without a downloadable Case Sheet within the EI-Hub, providers often need to consult Service Coordinators for essential child-related information, leading to inefficiencies and delays. To support providers, we have implemented a built-in Case Sheet feature that allows seamless access to critical child information, improving service delivery and reducing unnecessary communication.

Long Wait Times for Support

Providers frequently encounter long wait times for support, hindering quick resolution of issues. To combat this, ProviderSoft provides access to a dedicated support team, ensuring rapid issue resolution and personalized assistance. This approach minimizes delays and helps providers address urgent problems more effectively as they navigate the EI-Hub.

Service Authorization Restrictions

Expiring licenses can create delays in service authorizations within the EI-Hub. To assist providers in managing this, our proactive system flags license expirations and sends timely reminders. This support helps agencies maintain up-to-date licenses, preventing service disruptions.

Evaluation Claim Rejections

New restrictions on evaluation claims in the EI-Hub can lead to unexpected rejections, especially when agencies are unaware of specific submission guidelines. To mitigate this, our validation tool alerts agencies to potential submission issues in advance, reducing the likelihood of rejections and expediting payment processing.

At ProviderSoft, we are committed to helping providers navigate the challenges that arise with the EI-Hub. By offering innovative solutions and dedicated support, we empower agencies to enhance service delivery and improve their overall experience. As providers adapt to the new system, our tools will continue to play a vital role in effectively addressing these challenges.
