Before proceeding, confirm that you do not need to make any claim changes and that the information in KidKare accurately represents what you need to use for your state claim. Print and review the **Provider Claim Totals** report and the **Claim Summary** report shown in the image below before proceeding.  You can find these reports in **Claims** \> **Submit Claims to State**![](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-36-49-4684-PM.png?width=535&height=140&name=image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-36-49-4684-PM.png) To mark a claim as submitted: 1. From the menu to the left, click **Claims** and select **Submit Claims to State**. The Submit Claim to State window opens. ![](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-37-52-3754-PM.png?width=535&height=138&name=image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-37-52-3754-PM.png) 2. Click the **Claim Month** drop-down menu and select the claim month you are submitting. 3. Click the **Submission Batch** drop-down menu and select **All Submission**, **Current,** or a **specific batch date** if applicable. 4. Click the **Submission Date** box and select the submission date. This defaults to the current date. 5. In the **Providers to Report** section, select **Changed** or **All**. 6. Click **Mark Claim as Submitted**. All un-submitted claim records within the claim month you selected are marked as submitted and flagged with the date you set in **Step 5**. These records are locked and can no longer be changed. This excludes any claim records that are currently on hold. The **Number of Claims on Hold** field notes how many claims are on hold for the selected claim month. If you must later re-process claims included in a submitted batch, an adjustment record is created for the affected claim. The counts on this record are equal to the difference between the original processed counts and the counts when it is re-processed. For more information, see [**Change/Adjust Claims**](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/adjust-claim?hsLang=en).   You can also mark individual claims as submitted, rather than marking them as part of a batch. You would typically do this if there are a few claims that should not be marked as submitted, but you don't want to put them on hold. 1. In the Submit Claim to State window, click **Mark Individually**. The Mark Claims Individually to Submit window opens. ![](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-41-36-9716-PM.png?width=535&height=282&name=image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-41-36-9716-PM.png) 2. Click the **Submission Date** box and select the submission date. This defaults to the current date. 3. Check the box next to each claim to submit.![](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-42-06-1818-PM.png?width=535&height=315&name=image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-42-06-1818-PM.png) 4. Click **Submit**.   --- ### Unsubmit a Claim Batch If you marked a batch of claims as submitted and should not have, you can unsubmit the claim batch by viewing [**Unmark Claims as Submitted**](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/unmark-claims-as-submitted?hsLang=en). Exercise caution when performing this function. You should only use the submission batch that corresponds precisely with what you submitted to your State on your claim reports or uploaded claim files. WARNING: Un-submitting claims can make your state claim reports incorrect. Be absolutely sure that you need to un-submit claims before proceeding.    --- ### Use Electronic Claim Transfer Files If you claim with the State of New York, see **Export the NY CIPS File** below. In most states, you must fax or mail-in handwritten or typed forms that contain your claim summary information. However, some states have automated, Internet-based claim management systems that require you to generate specially formatted claim files that you then upload to the State. If you are in one of these states, you generate this file in the Submit Claims to State window. 1. From the menu to the left, click **Claims** and select **Submit Claims to State**. The Submit Claim to State window opens. 2. Depending on your state, click one of the following options: - **Create State Claim File:** This generates a claim information file you can send to your State. Claims that are on-hold are excluded from this file. - **Create State Provider File:** This generates a provider information file that you can send to your State.![](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-44-54-0190-PM.png?width=688&height=374&name=image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-44-54-0190-PM.png) 3. Select the location in which to save the file. 4. Click **Save**. These functions merely create the file on your hard-drive. You must still transmit this file to your State agency. Contact your State agency for more details.   --- ### Export the NY CIPS File We have worked with the State of New York to create a file that maps to the CACFP Information and Payment System (CIPS). This allows New York sponsors to export their child data from Minute Menu HX and upload it directly to the state CIPS website. For more information about this feature, see the [**CIPS Manual**](https://www.health.ny.gov/prevention/nutrition/cacfp/docs/cips_manual_homes.pdf) and the State of New York's [**Release Notes**](https://cacfpny.adobeconnect.com/homes_upload_release_notes/). #### Before You Begin To use this feature, you must do the following: - In your [**Sponsor Preferences**](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/sponsor-preferences?hsLang=en), set preference **G.011 Alternate Child ID** to **Yes**.![](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-47-09-1013-PM.png?width=688&height=99&name=image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-47-09-1013-PM.png) - In the [**Child Information**](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/child-information?hsLang=en), enter the **CIPS Participant ID** into the **Alternate Child ID** box at the bottom of the first tab.  Do this for each child.![](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-49-12-7373-PM.png?width=535&height=411&name=image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-49-12-7373-PM.png) #### Enabling the G.011 Alternate Child ID Preference  If you do not enable this preference, the Alternate Child ID box does not display in the Child Information window. 1. From the menu to the left, click **Administration** and select **Sponsor Preferences**. The Sponsor Preferences window opens. 2. Expand section **G. Child Info - Child Tab** by clicking the ![](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-50-40-5829-PM.png?width=21&height=19&name=image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-50-40-5829-PM.png) icon. 3. Click on the ![](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-50-40-5829-PM.png?width=21&height=19&name=image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-50-40-5829-PM.png) next to **011. Display Alternate Child ID**. 4. Click the **Policy Value** drop-down menu, and select **Y**. 5. Scroll back up to the top of the page and click **Save**. #### Entering the CIPS Participant ID Into the Alternate Child ID Box Now, enter the child's CIPS Participant ID in the Alternate Child ID box in the Child Information window. 1. From the menu to the left, click **Children** and select **Child Information**. The Child Information window opens. 2. Click the **Provider** drop-down menu and select a provider. 3. Click the **Child** drop-down menu and select the child to edit. 4. In the **Child** section, click the **Alternate Child Id** box and enter the child's CIPS Participant ID.![](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-55-07-2643-PM.png?width=688&height=288&name=image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-55-07-2643-PM.png) 5. Click **Save**. Double-check the child's name before exiting this window. If the child's name does not match their name in CIPS **exactly** (even if it is a middle initial that is not in CIPS), a duplicate record will be created. Correct any errors you find. Preparing to Export Once you are ready to export the CIPS file, do the following before exporting to avoid errors: 1. Ensure all child names in HX match the child names in CIPS **exactly**. If a name does not match and you upload the file without correcting it, a duplicate is created. Correct any errors you find. 2. Double-check that all Alternate Child IDs match the appropriate CIPS Participant IDs. 3. Withdraw any inactive children. #### Exporting the CIPS File We recommend that you export the CIPS file and upload it to CIPS monthly, as well as whenever child data changes. This ensures that your claim data matches CIPS records. Note that child data in CIPS is overwritten by the data uploaded from the CIPS file. 1. From the menu to the left, click **Claims** then **Submit Claims to the State**. The Submit Claim to State dialog box opens. 2. Make sure that the correct month is selected in the **Claim Month** box. 3. Adjust the remaining settings, as needed. 4. Click **Export CIPS Child File**. The Select Provider dialog box opens. There are three ways to export provider information:![](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-58-36-1594-PM.png?width=353&height=168&name=image-png-Dec-12-2024-09-58-36-1594-PM.png) 5. To export a single provider: 1. Select the **Selected Provider** option. 2. Click the **Provider** drop-down menu and select the provider to export.![](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-12-2024-10-00-22-8627-PM.png?width=688&height=174&name=image-png-Dec-12-2024-10-00-22-8627-PM.png) 3. Click **Export.** The report is generated. Go to **Step 7**. 6. To exportmultiple providers: 1. Select the **Multiple Provider** option.  The **Provider Filter** page opens. 2. Set filters for the providers to include in the export. If you do not set any filters, you will see a list of all providers to choose from. Click **Search**. ![](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-12-2024-10-01-19-8620-PM.png?width=688&height=286&name=image-png-Dec-12-2024-10-01-19-8620-PM.png). 3. A list of providers appears based on any filters you selected. 4. Check the box next to each provider you want to export in the **Select Providers** section. 5.
