5010 and ICD-10 Update

5010 UPDATE: As you are aware, our industry is facing many challenges right now as the result of payers shifting to the new 5010 format. Capario is coordinating with these payers to resolve issues as quickly as possible. We have already converted the majority of our payers to 5010 and are on track to meet the CMS extended deadline enforcement date of June 30, 2012. We continue to work with organizations such as the American Medical Association and the Cooperative Exchange to share issues we’ve identified and to raise the market's general awareness of these issues.

Please be assured that we will continue to process legacy formats for those providers who either aren’t converting or who will not meet the deadline. We will offer dual processing in which we will have the ability to “up convert” legacy inbound formats (4010A1, NSF 2.0, NSF 3.01, CMS 1500 Print Image) in order to deliver outbound 5010 transactions to entities ready to receive 5010 transactions. In addition Capario will “down convert” inbound 5010 transactions to outbound legacy formats for entities not ready to receive 5010 transactions. This process will allow providers and vendors to submit in their preferred format, and allow payers to receive in their preferred format. Please feel free to contact us at any time.

ICD-10 Update: The conversion to ICD-10 will have a major impact across the entire healthcare industry, but taking proactive steps will help manage the risk. Even with the updated proposed deadline of October, 2014, Capario recommends that providers and payers alike continue moving forward with their ICD-10 preparations as originally planned. We will be monitoring HHS updates to the timeline and will be prepared to incorporate changes for ICD-10 ahead of the deadline. If you have any questions or concerns please email us at ICD-10@capario.com. You can find more information about ICD-10 readiness on our Capario Insight blog.
