Hello all,
Per our call yesterday, below are the comments we need to consider from
Steve Lazarus. Give them some thought and we will discuss further on the
19th.
Page 4, near the top. I think that there are at least three major problems
that need to be outline here to illustrate a point which is discussed, but
not emphasized. It is one that is easily overlooked until one actually
gets into the testing process. The three problems are:
a. Translators do not support all of the data elements because some
do not have one to one translations.
b. Print files for UB92 and HCFA1500 do not contain all of the data
elements required for the 837, nor do all the data elements have
the same definitions as for the 837. This is a huge issue which
can not be addressed by sending the print file to the
clearinghouse.
c. Source systems, as well as billing applications, must be upgraded
to provide for total data capture and the new definitions of the
data elements.
