Remember the NPI's?
It's been over 3 years since we all started using the NPI numbers and the new claim form. Doesn't time fly? One of the complicating factors to this transition is many Medisoft users got left behind and had to learn not only the new claim form and NPI numbers, they needed to learn three or four or more versions.
Well, we are all on the brink of another big change; the ANSI 5010 form and the ICD-10. Those of you who have converted to Version 16 know the challenges of learning the new PINS requirements of the ANSI 5010. The next version to come is Version 17 that will be released before the end of the year and will contain the ANSI 5010.
If you are not on Version 16, you need to do that now. Why?
1) It's less expensive to upgrade one version at a time or even two versions than purchase a brand new program. There isn't any trade in value for versions over 2 versions old. A good example is if you have V14 Advanced and would have upgraded one version per year, it would cost you $289 per year. However, if you miss an upgrade and do 2 versions at once it is $869. Three versions would be $999. (We do have a handful of V15's in stock. If you are one that is still on V14, we may be able to get you the lower price.)
2) It's easier to adjust to major changes a little at a time.
3) Your version will be supported. Currently, V15 and V16 are supported by Medisoft. We try to support older versions, but if we have a problem, Medisoft won't support us if our client isn't on a supported copy of Medisoft.
So, if you are not on V16, what should you do? Call us at 888.322.2455. We can get you updated and remember, there is free installation support with each purchase; a $300 value. Plus, we review the three forms of free support; the Medisoft Manual, Help within Medisoft, and the Knowledge Base online.
Happy Billing and Charting,
