ANSI 5010 Readiness Update (March 29, 2011)

Dear Claim.MD Providers,

We are getting calls from providers who are making their checklists for what they need to accomplish to be ready for the ANSI 5010 mandates.  


Claim.MD Providers do not have to do anything for 5010 compliance -- because we take care of all those details on our side.  

ANSI 5010 is mandated to be utilized later this year.  At this time our development and internal testing is complete to be in compliance with that.  We have completed external testing with 3rd party quality control organizations, and we are in the process of live testing with our direct connect trading partners.  Claim.MD is well ahead of the curve, and will have everything ready “behind the scenes” to be in compliance long before the 1/1/2012 implementation date.

If your billing system support offers you updates during this time, you should stay up with their support plan.  Often software updates are cumulative, and these updates could become important with ICD-10 implementation over the next several years.

If your billing system changes, or if you change billing systems completely, you can continue to send your claims through Claim.MD regardless of the clearinghouse that your billing system vendor endorses.  

Because of the many changes occurring with 5010 and ICD-10, we have eliminated all charges for remapping and customizations related to billing system changes.

If you have any questions or concerns about 5010 that have not been fully addressed, please email rob@claim.md and we will make sure you get the information you need.

Thanks!

rob
