My claims clearinghouse informs me that X12 submissions to Medicare require ANSI ASC X12N data that is somewhat different than the HCFA CMS-1500. Specifically, Medicare requires DTP/454 Initial Treatment Date in addition to the DTP/431, Box 14 Date of Current (Accident Date), which is populated as the “Onset/hosp. date:” on the OpenEMR Patient Encounter Form. (ANSI 837 Version 5010 submission requirements vs. CMS-1500 submission requirements.) Has anyone provided a fix to place the Initial Treatment Date into “Misc Billing Options for HCFA-1500,” which seems a logical form for this data? Thank you.
Clearinghouses and Medicare needed to comply with 5010 X12 format on Dec 31 2010. Providers and the rest need to comply by Dec 31, 2011.
On Jan 1, 2012 we start the new year with 5010 format and have until Oct 2013 for ICD10 to be in there. Of course to make this worth while and more entertaining in 2012 we will have additional MU to comply with.
