Interfaces |
New HEIGHTS is the first point of entry from most clients served by DHHS. The other major systems within DHHS (MMIS, NH Bridges, and NECSES) all receive their base information including eligibility information via an interface with New HEIGHTS. New HEIGHTS also maintains an interface with NH Healthy Kids Corporation, a nonprofit partner in our SCHIP program.
NH BRIDGES Interface: There is also a two-way interface with NH BRIDGES. New HEIGHTS sends a form of eligibility information to BRIDGES, which among other things manages provider enrollment and payment for childcare and other E&T providers for New HEIGHTS. The eligibility information passed is for specific periods, specific providers, and for specific amounts. BRIDGES also sends information to New Heights to register providers on the Heights system. Provider payment transfers take place via electronic fund transfer. |
