Bluemark has develop a dynamic, sophisticated and robust software package named EASy™ which provides an end to end solution for the assessment, creation, submission, processing and tracking of long-term care Medicaid applications and all under care actions.
EASy™ has been designed to link New York City long-term care facilities with the City of New York, Department of Social Services EDITS (Eligibility Data and Image Transfer System). EASy™ has the capability to process and track Medicaid eligibility cases electronically through the City’s own automated interface.
More than 50 New York City nursing homes are currently using this process, initiated in 1995. Tens of thousands of forms, including new applications, re-certifications, conversions, status changes and financial changes have been processed using our technology.
EASy™ has replaced the cumbersome manual eligibility process with leading technology developed by Bluemark that automates the creation, submission, and processing of all types of Medicaid application
Bluemark is a fully certified submitter to the NYC HRA EDITS system for all provider types (long-term care, acute care hospitals and facilitated enrollers).
how the process works
EASy™ automates the entire application process for your facility. EASy™ collects the data needed to complete the DSS 2921 as well as all other forms required for Long Term Care case preparation. In addition, EASy™ allows you to electronically submit your forms and associated scanned documentation to the City of New York for processing. Acknowledgements, responses and changes in status from the City of New York Long Term Care Unit will be available through MAPSnh™ on a daily basis. There is no longer a need for express or courier services to deliver your cases to the Medicaid offices.
EASy™ electronically prepares your Long Term Care Medicaid Applications, MA, PA and SSI Conversions, Recertifications, and Financial/Status/Demographic changes. A comprehensive interview is used to populate the various forms required for submission, eliminating the need for manual data entry. All documents required for submission are scanned to our secure server, eliminating the need to maintain sensitive paper files while creating an “electronic folder” of forms and documentation for each client. These images along with the proper forms are submitted electronically to Medicaid for processing.
Once submitted, EASy™ will return the acknowledgement from the City of New York with the official Medicaid “Clock-in” time and date stamp. Afterwards, EASy™ monitors your cases for responses from the City of New York. All responses are available through EASy™ on a daily basis. EASy™ also informs you that the 90-day submission window for submission or reconsideration is approaching. This process has proven to be extremely valuable in maintaining the original Medicaid “Pick-up” date.
Our automated documentation checklist allows you to ensure all the required documentation is scanned for each case according to the official Medicaid guidelines. All information collected in the electronic interview is cross-referenced to the documentation checklist to present a comprehensive selection of images to be collected. All cases are automatically reviewed prior to submission to ensure completion for a Medicaid approval.
