Early Steps Providers Need to be Paid Immediately!
Major billing system errors as a result of the Rollover to Availity/Med3000 have left Early Steps Providers owed THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS each month with no end in sight! It is UNACCEPTABLE to continue punishing Providers by requiring their UNPAID TIME to continuously resubmit billing to Med3000, Early Steps Administrators, and State Office staff. Please IMMEDIATELY PAY your hardworking providers from State funds their amount owed as confirmed by LES Administration, and THEN RESOLVE Med3000 and Early Steps billing issues! Thank you.
Why is this important?
The difficulty and time it takes to be paid for services rendered is UNACCEPTABLE and needs IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION! Early Steps Providers owed THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS are unable to pay mortgages and other bills, buy Christmas presents, carry full work caseloads, pay taxes, etc as a result of these issues. These are billing issues the Providers have not caused, and should therefore not be penalized to resolve them by spending countless UNPAID hours begging Med3000 for our money!
