On October 15, 2024, New York’s early intervention (EI) program data and billing management interface changed from the New York Early Intervention System (NYEIS) to a new EI-Hub. Many providers have experienced serious problems with EI-Hub during this transition time, including provider payment delays, patient privacy concerns, and subsequent service disruption for more than 70,000 children enrolled in this critical program.
S1198-A/A10175 would authorize the Department of Health (the agency that runs New York’s EI program) to conduct a thorough review of the EI system and would provide recommendations for a new funding formula to support providers. This legislation has passed both chambers of the NY assembly and is awaiting Governor Kathy Hochul’s signature.
Please complete the form to email your governor and ask her to support S1198-A/A10175.
