  Office Therapy: Did you know?

 ANSI 5010 Timeline Information
In January of this year, insurance companies and clearinghouses began testing the new standards for the 5010. During 2011 vendors, insurance companies, and clearinghouses will work on and test these new standards. As of January 1, 2012, providers will be required to submit the ANSI 837 5010.

DocuTrac's 5010 coordination team is working on and will be testing the new standards. The ability to file using this format will be available in time for the January 1, 2012 deadline.

ICD-10-CM Update: Did you know?
The ICD-10-CM is an update to the ICD-9 diagnostic and procedure code set. The ICD-10 will replace the ICD-9 on October 1, 2013. Our developers are currently working hard to update our software accordingly and plan to be compliant by the scheduled deadlines.

Note: The implementation of ANSI 5010 is a prerequisite for implementing the new ICD-10 codes. While the new claim format accommodates the ICD-10 codes, ICD-10 codes are separate from the 5010 project.
