HIPAA 5010 • Project Status • Key Considerations/Timeline for 7/1/2012 • Next Steps
Project Status • Wrapping up all 5010 changes per the previously stated timeline • Key Milestones for 7/1/2012 full compliance: • 11/1/2011 – Programming re-started and Freeze Period began • 1/2012 – Coding completes, start internal testing • 3/2012 – Begin UAT (external testing) • 6/2012 – Complete UAT • 7/1/2012 – Implementation in Production and Freeze Period ends
Key Considerations/Timeline for 7/1/2012 • To accommodate necessary changes to the PMMIS databases the 2nd Encounter cycle for June will be cancelled and PMMIS will not be available during this conversion process beginning 6/30 up to a late as 7/4. • Last day that plans may submit 4010 and NCPDP non PAH format encounters for AHCCCS processing is 6/7/2012 (before 6:00pm) • If 4010 format encounters are received after 6/7/2012 they will be rejected upfront in validation
Key Considerations/Timeline for 7/1/2012, cont. • Contractors must also complete all TI corrections to 4010 format encounters prior to 6/7/2012 • All Contractors are encouraged to complete their 5010 and NCPDP Encounter testing as soon as possible
Next Steps • Post implementation support 30 to 60 days after 7/1 • Publish final Companion Documents for all Transactions
ICD10 • Proposed CMS Implementation Date Change • Revised AHCCCS Project Timeline • AHCCCS Project Approach • CMS Site Visit • Next Steps
Proposed CMS Implementation Date Change • “The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a proposed rule that would delay, from October 1, 2013 to October 1, 2014, the compliance date for the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition diagnosis and procedure codes (ICD-10).” • Comments to proposed Rule due by May 17th • Should be published by September 2012 if approved

Next Steps • Finalize System Impacts • Finalize Documentation, Policy and Process impacts • Begin review and remediation of above impacts • Conduct Internal Training • Complete the detailed project planning • Inventory published GEMS and other related ICD10 documentation • Establish parameters for and initiate Contractor milestone reporting
Other Projects • Pharmacy Data – Professional and Facility Form Type • Focused Encounter Pends and Denials Review • Recent Implementations – NEMT Copays; 340B Pharmacy Payments
Pharmacy Data – Professional and Facility Form Type • Captured as reported effective 7/1/2012 with the implementation of 5010 changes • Specific rule tables outlining reporting requirements are in progress and will be implemented along with related encounter and claims editing for 10/1/2012 • http://www.azahcccs.gov/commercial/pharmacyupdates.aspx
Focused Encounter Pends and Denials Review • We have identified a number of opportunities to clarify and or revise current encounter edit logic and related processes • The revisions and clarifications will be prioritized for completion between October 2012 and March 2013 • Specific details as to the impacted edits and proposed changes will be communicated as they are finalized
