5010 changes
Michele:
Yes, internal testing. It shouldn't be a learning curve for you. It's more of an internal change when the batches are created.

There is a lot of info. On the AMA website. I found this webinar helpful: http://www.getready5010.org/

I recently contacted therapist helper, my software company, and they told me that they were not ready yet for 5010. The man then went on to tell me that they mental health billing does not need to be 5010 compliant until 2013. I told him I didn't think this was right but he was adamant. I told him that was for icd 10 but not 5010. Does anyone know anything about this? Anyone using Therapist Helper with news on this?
Thank You,
Pati

He needs to visit the website Cheri mentioned above. The 5010 format is effective 1-1-12 - it contains the format changes necessary to begin submitting ICD-10 codes effective 10-1-13. There are other changes in the 5010 format that should be tested that affect all claims - including mental health. Things like no PO boxes in the Billing Provider field, zip+4 address requirements, patient/subscriber being the same, etc. They're all explained in greater detail on the getready5010 website.

I haven't heard of any exceptions based on specialty. Anybody else?? ???
