HNOI Announce

NOI - Note regarding Unit Rate Calculation page in Provider Application

Please be aware that all existing providers need to register in the new system, and complete the application in its entirety.

There is text in section 2. Unit Rate Calculation, shown below, that may be confusing if you missed the recent webinar trainings:

 

This language is not applicable to existing providers who are completing an application in the new NOI system for the first time - your application must have all responses complete in order to be submitted, including the unit rate calculation page.

 

NOI Upgrade Training - question follow ups

Please see our responses below to questions that we could not answer during our training webinar on 7/26/16:

Q: What is the difference between travel expense and travel stipend?

A: A stipend is a set amount regardless of actual cost - + or – the stipend amount.  For example, a per mile rate of $.45 per mile is considered a stipend. The actual cost per mile may be higher or lower, but the employee is reimbursed the $.45 per mile.

Travel expenses would include the total amount traveled in miles plus any other related expenses. The total reimbursable amount  is unknown until the travel has been concluded.        

Q: Regarding the Certificate Of Insurance (2 questions)

1. Does someone have to be "named" on COI?
2. We deal with multiple ASAP's, do we need a COI for each one and their location?    

A: The current policy should be attached to the NOI application. The ASAP will provide any necessary instruction on COI once there is an agreement to contract.
