Yet one of the many reasons I don't like Therapist Helper.. they are wrong. They need to be compliant. PERIOD. All NON 5010 transactions will be rejected after 1/1/2012.
"Practices that perform one or more of the HIPAA transactions electronically, such as submitting a claim, or checking a patient's eligibility, or rely on a billing service and/or clearinghouse to do this on their behalf is effected by this change".
Now this is ONLY my guess.. but Therapist Helper uses DSM codes.. <g> it's my guess that MAYBE they are saying or think it won't effect them? But.. as I tell my providers over and over..throw away your DSM books, they are completely worthless for billing purposes. AGAIN..this is JUST my guess.. not for me to say why they think they don't have to be ready.
