Early Intervention Provider Information Notice-Rate Increase Effective July 1, 2025

TO: All Early Intervention Providers

FROM: Benjamin Delgado, Jr., Chief

Bureau of Early Intervention

DATE: June 26, 2025

RE: Early Intervention Provider Information Notice-Rate Increase Effective July 1, 2025

We are pleased to inform you that, as a result of the Governor JB Pritzker's recent signing of the FY26 Budget, the rate increases outlined in the April 23, 2025 PIN have been approved.  That PIN may be found here - 

April 23, 2025 Early Intervention Provider Information Notice (.pdf)

This rate increase will be effective for dates of service beginning on and after July 1, 2025. The rate schedule below outlines the rate changes for the applicable procedure codes. Service Coordination is also included and will be reflected in the calculation for Targeted Case Management and the baseline for our Service Coordinators with Child and Family Connections offices. We ask that you please update your usual and customary rates accordingly.

As many of you are aware, our state's fiscal year ends on June 30, 2025, and the new fiscal year (FY26) will begin on July 1, 2025. Due to the change of the fiscal year, any dates of service from July 1-7, 2025, billed to the Central Billing Office (CBO) will appear on the July 9, 2025 voucher and provider claim summary, rather than the July 2, 2025 documents. The July 9, 2025 voucher will be the first issued for FY26.

We value the significant role you play in the lives of children and families receiving early intervention services and appreciate your dedication to improving outcomes for those in need. This achievement could not have been possible without all of you who contributed to its success. Together, we will continue to create a brighter future for our communities through the provision of high-quality early intervention services.
