Current medicaid hrly rate for lpn pvt duty nursing in queens, ny

U.S.A. New York

Published

Does anybody know how much can an LPN get for home care as a participating provider in the New York Medicaid Program in the county of Queens? I have been calling Medicaid offices in all five boroughs of NYC and nobody answers the phone, only answering machines ... have left messages but nobody calls me back ... anybody can solve this "mistery"?

Thank you! :nurse:

Yes- 3 months without a paycheck.. not fun. You'll be waiting by the mailbox for a long time if it is the same for you. My 1st submission-over $3,000 was denied and it took them a while to straighten it out. I was told it would be months-it gets frustrating. After you submit your claims go to the REALTIME responses and check to see if it was denied.I submit as REALTIME PROFESSIONAL.

I am not sure if states operate differently on billing or not.

But during those 3 months, is it because you had to do the billing over again? or it just happened that Medicaid processed it slow since its over $3000. I'm really worried but like you said, maybe I missed the pay cycle - I submitted on a Tuesday - that's why I havent received anything at all. I submitted 16 days of work - 10 hours per day. It's frustrating me that I may have to wait another two weeks to get paid for those days. I might as well turn in my other days.

Like I said before submit the day you finish a shift or at least the week you finish your cases. I submitted my days on different days. I work 9 hrs and then 12 so I waited til I finished the 12 hr. shift and submitted both.There are so many lines you can enter shifts on.I know when I got to the end of that page I couldn't add more lines for some reason though.

I was told by the RN that it would take 3 months because emed takes that long. I made mistakes also so that added to it and they wouldn't recognize numbers ect.

I even had a relative of the RN working on why it was taking so long.

Yes, it is frustrating! You just have to keep up on your billing-it makes it SO much easier when you do. HAve you gone in and checked the status of your billing?

I have been doing my bnilling for 1 yr. this month and it took 6 months for mine to finally catch up.

I've been doing this type of work since 2009 n I've had a lot of bad experiences with it. All the info as to required paperwork and becoming a medicaid provider can be found at www.emedny.org. I found that this works out better when it's not ur only job and when there aren't 20 other nurses on the case *hint hint*

Hi OneflyNurz i am interested in doing this, can you share examples of the bad experiences or in which ways can one go wrong.Thanks
