Announcing CIMS, the Child Information Management System

CBIS announces new online billing and summary sheet features, starting Monday, July 21. Providers and Service Coordinators will be able to enter billing and summary sheets directly online without sending them to CBIS at all! This does not replace the electronic billing spreadsheet upload option, which is still available. And this is not TOTS.

Web-billing: Who needs to web-bill?

· Anyone who currently faxes or mails their paper bills to CBIS

· Anyone who currently uploads spreadsheets with fewer than 50 claims

· Anyone who currently uploads spreadsheets with more than 50 claims but who find spreadsheets bothersome

Online Summary Sheet Entry: Who needs to use it?

· All PSCs and ISCs need to enter all summary sheets online rather than sending them to CBIS

Web-billing: Why would I want to?

· You are in control of data entry. It’s hard to make an error.

· Your bills will be posted to our system overnight. No one has to edit or upload them for you

· You aren’t at the mercy of the postal service or of data entry clerks

· Later cut-off day! You have until 5:00 pm on the day before our cycle to enter your bills, rather than the week before as is the rule for faxed/mailed bills and spreadsheets.

· No need to create a spreadsheet

· You can enter bills from anywhere with an internet connection just by going to the website

· You can enter bills as often as you like, even every day after your client visits

Online Summary Sheet Entry: Why would I want to?

· Don’t know if CBIS got your forms? You are in charge! By entering them yourself, you know they are automatically posted overnight.

· Keeps you from entering mistakes which prevents payments to providers

· Allows you to check demographic information CBIS has received for children and update as needed

How do I get started?

· Go to http://cbis.louisville.edu and click on “CIMS” anytime after 8:30 am Monday
