We are currently planning to replace our legacy A/R Clinical applications with a new software. Due to the size of our corporation it is going to take quite some time to implement this new system. We are in project planning phases right now
My question is on our legacy systems. I was in a meeting not long ago and one of the other providers commented that we do not need to worry about getting our legacy system compliant by October 2002. They stated somewhere in the transactions standards there is a clause on legacy systems. I have read through the transaction standards this a.m. and cannot find anything that specific so I am not sure where they are getting this information. The way I interpret the rule is having new or old software doesn't make any difference. By the compliance date we have to have a method in place to convert the data from the old system into the correct X!@ formats if we do electronic transactions (which we do). Am I understanding this correctly? Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Thank you. Cindy M.
