  9. Provider Address Update • A new vendor utility will allow you to update the billing and pay-to addresses for all provider records for a customer. • Search Tools  Report ManagerProvider Address Update

  10. Provider 5010 Readiness • Practice Insight has partnered with USPS to do a one time sweep to validate the provider address and update with the 9 digit zip code. • The Provider 5010 Readiness report will allow you to identify the providers that are still not 5010 compliant. • Missing a 9 digit zip • P.O. Box in the billing • Search Tools  Report Manager Provider 5010 Readiness

  11. Post Conversion Routine • For those new 5010 claim-level errors that may be difficult for your PM to account for, Practice Insight has created a Post Conversion Routine, which will allow us to automatically substitute customer specific claim data upon claim conversion from 4010 to 5010. • Available upon request

  12. EDIFECS Engine for 5010 Claims • What is EDIFECS? According to their website: “Edifecs XEngine is an enterprise-strength, high-throughput message processing engine that provides deep (SNIP Levels 1-7) and accurate validation of transactions at the edge-of-the-enterprise. By catching errors early, XEngine separates good data from bad data thus allowing organizations to comply with legislative and company mandates.”

  13. EDIFECS Engine for 5010 Claims Cont. • In other words, EDIFECS provides an extra level of validation and testing for our ANSI 5010 claims. • As an extra measure to make sure that all of our 5010 claims are compliant, all 5010 claims process through the EDIFECS validator before being sent to the payer. • A new status response with a source of EDIFECS will be returned on all claims found in error. The claim status will be INVALID.

  14. Additional Program Modifications • All of the 5010 screens for Professional and Institutional claims have changed to accommodate the change in data for these formats.
