PROVIDERS: The 2008 Cut-off dates are now posted. Please make special note of the December 2008, and January 2009 cycles. The December 2008 cutoff date before the holidays will be on a Tuesday, and that cycle will not be run until January 7th. Checks will not arrive by Christmas Day, or even New Years! There will be four weeks between the last December cutoff (Dec. 23) and the first January cutoff (Jan 21).

Providers must submit billing and summary sheets for processing based on the CBIS cut-off dates. If CBIS receives bills and/or summary sheets by the cut-off date, those bills and summary sheets will be processed for that billing cycle. If CBIS receives bills and/or summary sheets after the cut-off date, those documents will not be processed until the following billing cycle.

NOTE:

*Faxes must be sent to CBIS by 3:00 PM (Eastern Time) on the cut-off date. Please refer to our fax guidelines for page limits and all CBIS fax standards.

*Electronic billing files must be uploaded to the CBIS billing server by 12:00 midnight (Eastern Time - the night of the cut-off date). If you are interested in electronic billing, please see our Electronic Billing instructions.

*Providers who choose to drop-off billing or summary sheets to CBIS in person for the current billing cycle, must do so by 5:00 PM on the cut-off date.

*If providers mail their billing into CBIS, CBIS is not responsible for delays in the U.S. mail due to holidays or similar circumstances. Please take these circumstances into account, and plan on mailing your billing based on the reliability of the postal system. Providers may want to mail their billing with return receipt or delivery confirmation. Providers may also decide to over-night their billing to guarantee delivery to the CBIS offices by the cut-off date.
