Once this is completed we are able to issue payments for care provided. Child Care bills are paid on a reimbursement basis. Currently, the county issues blank billing forms to providers. Blank forms are usually sent in quantities to providers for a 6 month supply. The provider bills the county once a month on the provided billing form.
Bills are to be submitted after the last day of care of each month.
The provider should submit bills within 60 days of service or payment may be denied. The parent must pay the provider for costs that exceed the county's maximum rates. When the billing form is received into our agency, it is audited and processed in less than five days if all payment information is current on our vendor payment computer system. A check is then issued through our accounting department usually within three days. Payments are generally made on a month by month basis.
