OCDEL Completes Mass Claims Adjustment for All Paid EI Claims Between July 1, 2025 – March 8, 2026
The Office of Child Development & Early Learning (OCDEL) has completed the Mass Claims Adjustment for all PAID CLAIMS of Early Intervention (EI) services that contain a date of service between July 1, 2025 – March 8, 2026 and were filed on or before March 8, 2026.
Due the high volume of claims, the Mass Claims Adjustment was processed in daily batches with a summary of claims below:
- Week 1: March 16, 2026
- Claims Adjusted for Speech Therapy
- Claims Adjusted for Occupational Therapy
- Claims Adjusted for Physical Therapy
- Week 2: March 23, 2026
- Claims Adjusted for Special Instruction
- Claims Adjusted for Audiology/Evaluation/Teaming
- Claims Adjusted for Service Coordination
A complete review of the Mass Claims Adjustment was performed during the week of March 30, and a final batch of claims were processed on April 7, representing claims with a date of services of July 1, 2025.
Reminder of Next Steps:
- Using the newly published Fiscal Year 2025/26 Fee Schedule, file NEW claims on or after March 9, 2026, that contain a date of service on or after July 1, 2025.
- Using the newly published Fiscal Year 2025/26 Fee Schedule, adjust claims filed on or after March 9, 2026, that contain a date of service on or after July 1, 2025, if the OLD fee schedule was used.
IMPORATANT:
As expected, OCDEL reports that there are many ICNs that failed the Mass Claims Adjustment. The Bureau is preparing a document for each County to distribute to their contracted providers that includes the original ICN that did not successfully Mass Adjust. Detailed instructions will be included with this document for how the Infant Toddler program and EI Provider can work together to resolve the claims errors. After successful resolution of the claims error, providers will be responsible for performing their own Claims Adjustment for the claims that failed the Mass Claims Adjustment.
