Office Ally News: 5010 Updates
Office Ally and the 5010 Transition
Effective January 1, 2012, the X12 Version 5010 is required for all claims submitted electronically to payers. Version 5010 is the new version of the X12 standards for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) transactions. Implementation of HIPAA Version 5010 may require changes to software, systems and perhaps procedures that you use for billing payers using Office Ally.
Office Ally is currently in the testing phase of 5010 and on our way to meeting the January 1, 2012 deadline. We are working side-by-side with our payers as well as our customers to ensure a smooth transition for all. For additional information on the 5010 transition please visit our web site at www.OfficeAlly.com, go to Resource Center and select 5010 Information or click here.
