HIPAA 5010 Solutions and Services
Challenges
Health care organizations know they need to lay considerable groundwork to effectively operate under the new Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) 5010 electronic transaction standard. But where to begin given its enormous scope and powerful implications?
The new standard significantly modifies its 4010A1 predecessor. It accommodates the massive, five-fold increase in ICD-10 code sets and touches everything from billing to reimbursement to administrative functions:
  • Electronic data interchange (EDI)
  • Claims adjudication D
  • ecision support
  • Pay-for-performance support
  • Practice management
  • Utilization management
  • Patient and provider satisfaction
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services implementation deadline of January 1, 2012 leaves little time to identify, design, test, and launch the new systems, processes, and protocols required for a smooth transition. All health care organizations from government agencies to the payers, hospitals, physicians, and vendors they work with need to begin preparing for 5010 immediately. EZEN's unmatched combination of 5010-specific services can help streamline the process.
