Billing Address & Hipaa 5010

<< < (2/3) > >>

PMRNC:
No more PO boxes or lock boxes. Providers who want to have payments sent to a different address will use the pay to address field's.

Also.. in 5010, billing provider MUST be a health care service/provider, can NO longer be a billing service or clearinghouse.


--- Quote ---I haven't heard that but I can't imagine how they are going to do that.  Many providers use PO Boxes or lock boxes to prevent office theft.

  this isn't an issue because as a covered entities, the physical address will not be presented to patient's, that really hasn't been an issue since HIPAA. Your bills you send patient's will still only contain PO boxes if you wish.

Any of you ladies using Lytec and Office Ally as clearing house?  They use print image to pull claims and I'm not sure how to transmit the 'Pay To' field.  I tried asking them but they keep putting me off  >:(
Probably need an alternative option to pull Ansi 5010 format?

Michele:
We use Lytec & Office Ally.  And yes they are using print image.  I will also see what I can find out and post it.  I know they have been testing/preparing for 5010 but I hadn't addressed the pay to  field yet.  I will keep you posted!

PMRNC:
Wouldn't the print to file clearinghouses have to convert a bit further? I don't think 5010 will be able to do print to file, I'm thinking there will be other changes on the billers end in this case.

camedbill:
I'm thinking they can make some changes like pulling info in box 32 for billing address and use box 33 for pay to address.  I talked to a guy there once who is very knowledgeable in the 5010 process so will see if I can find him again because the customer service reps don't know squat.  Will post here if I find out anything. Thanks Michele!
