Provider Payment Information
Early intervention services are costly and depend on a variety of funding sources for support. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 requires that Part C be the payer of last resort and Part C funds only be used for early intervention services an eligible child needs but is not currently entitled to under any other source. Kentucky Early Intervention System uses a variety of public and private resources to support early intervention services.
All resources for payment are explored prior to the use of early intervention funds and include:
- Family Share participation fee
- Medicaid
- Private health insurance
- State Kentucky Early Intervention System funds
- Federal Part C funds
The Department for Public Health is committed to processing payments as quickly as possible and is obligated to provide payment within 30 days of receipt of an accurate, properly submitted bill. As a business, you are responsible for meeting your operating expenses within this time frame.
