A Repeat of NPI Days - Change is Coming
Many of you remember the scramble that everyone made in 2006-2007 to get compliant with the NPI numbers. Well, all of us are facing it again with the ANSI 5010 format coming. Medicare will start accepting live claims in the 5010 format as of 1/1/11. All payers, providers and clearinghouse must be using it by 1/1/12.
That being said, myself and Teresa are in Atlanta right now learning V17 of Medisoft. The version that will be ANSI 5010 compliant. You can view the new price list and details at www.billingbuddies.com under the V17 Medisoft link.
Here are my recommendations to prepare:
1) Don't wait until the last minute. If you adopt and prepare now, there won't be an interruption to your cash flow.
2) Stay updated so you are only purchasing one version of Medisoft at a time and preferably purchase during the promotion period.
3) We have a few copies of V15 and V16 in stock. These can help those of you that need to upgrade more than one version. It will be less expensive if we can step you up one version at a time. If you have V15 and prior, call our office and schedule an appointment with me and I will look at our stock and see the best price I can get you. I will return to the office on Thursday, November 18th.
And remember:
The one unchangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.
