Contract Claim Submission Deadlines for the 2019 Contract Year

Per Attachment D – Payment and Reporting Schedule of your Core Rehabilitation Services (CRS) contract, contractors are reminded of the 90-day reconciliation period for the 2019 contract year, which ended on December 31, 2019.  All outstanding billing is due to the ACCES-VR District Offices (VR-370s and Group Orientation vouchers) and ACCES Fiscal and Administrative Services Team (SE Extended only) no later than March 31, 2020 for the 2019 contract period.  As indicated in Attachment D, late submission will not be accepted.

It is imperative that CRS contractors review the monthly utilization reports sent to them from CRS2@nysed.gov and work with the local District Offices(s) to resolve any discrepancies during this 90-day period.  A final reconciliation payment will be issued in May 2020, if necessary, following ACCES-VR’s review of 2019 claims.

In April 2020, all authorizations that have a start date in 2019 will no longer display on the VR-370 report.  This will minimize the chance of error in billing for 2019 after the close out period ends. 

If there are any questions regarding the VR-370 reports, please contact your local ACCES-VR District Office in advance of the March 31, 2020 deadline.  If there are questions regarding the payments or for CRS monthly utilization report distribution issues, please contact the ACCES Fiscal and Administrative Services Team at CRS2@nysed.gov or (518) 486-6585.
