5010 Update

In April, I blogged that Clinicient was well on its way to addressing new 5010 requirements, If it is Spring it must be 5010 time.  As summer rolls around, I feel like it is appropriate to update our progress.

The latest release of Insight Billing completes our inclusion of 5010 requirements into production.  Our Errata testing is nearly complete and our only issue to date has been with two Medicare part-A intermediaries. This issue was a non-standard implementation of a field known as Admission Type and was easily addressed.

The total number of changes required to move from 4010 to 5010, specific to PT was not significant, and effective July 1, 2011 we will be able to send out all claim data in a native 5010 format.  We continue to monitor submission across the more than 2000 payers with which we interact, but expect a smooth transition between now and January 1, 2012.
