Billing Scenarios<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There will be times when providers must carry out some additional steps before they can submit billing for a child. Below are a few common scenarios and what to do in those cases.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newly Established NCRP<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Billing for a New Child Authorization for the First Time<\/span><\/summary>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When a new NCRP begins caring for a child and is approved by AZDES, they will paper bill for the dates they began caring for the child to the end of the month that they receive their approval to care for the child.
When the provider receives the authorization approval, they will paper bill for the date that the authorization began to the 1st of the following month. Beginning the 1st of the next month, the provider and sponsor will use the CCES for attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • A parent contacts their Eligibility Specialist on 12\/18\/2023 and reports that her mother is caring for her daughter and wants the mother to get paid for caring for her.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The mother has already been caring for the child since 12\/13\/23.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • On 1\/23\/24, NCRP is approved and can bill for childcare beginning 12\/13\/23<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Example Process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1: After 1\/31\/24, NCRP will paper bill for 12\/13\/23 to 1\/31\/24 (month of December and January)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2: After 1\/23\/24, NCRP will receive a Provider ID and Verification Code (PIN) to register their account in KinderConnect. The new Sponsor will register with KinderSmart or KinderSign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3: The NCRP and Sponsor will begin using the CCES for attendance from 2\/1\/24 and submit attendance electronically going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
