Subject: Billing via HIS for dental
Dear Carmine, Anna, LeAnn,
This email is to serve as an early notice that NC DHHS Division of Public Health will be unable to support any local billing via HIS. We estimate that we have less than one year to sunset this service, due to the expiration of our contract with Netsmart, our HIS vendor. Based on the EHR Vendor Map, attached, Macon, Alexander and Caldwell are now the only counties using HIS for dental billing. The other LHDs may serve as a resource for you as you evaluate this shift in billing approach. DPH will do our best to allow the transition time that you need, so please check with your team in order to let us know if you anticipate challenges in moving Medicaid billing off of the HIS application, along with anticipated timing to complete the transition.
Thanks! Beth
