Bob,

Below are three products/vendors we evaluated for WI Medicaid.

- Commerce Broker from Mercator
- PaperFree from Sybase
- EBI Suite from SeeBeyond

This is just a shortlist and there are several other vendors that provide comparable 
products/services.  One other alterenative that you may want to research is the use of 
a clearinghouse for interim compliance.  Depending on your volume it may not make 
sense to invest in software, although the power of these products offer a long-term 
strategy and approach that may provide future savings in terms of maintenance.

Additionally, there have been several white papers written concerning this topic and 
the pros and cons for each alternative.  I believe you can find most of them on the 
CMS HIPAA website.

Hi, all.  I hope this is the appropriate forum for this question.  If not, please 
point me in the right direction.

I am working with several small Mental Health providers.  While each is preparing to 
make their data systems compliant with the new transaction standards, it is likely 
that most won't be ready to produce/accept the new transactions by next year.  

Therefore, we are trying to look at translation software and I'm having a devil of a 
time finding much on the web which are appropriate for a small organization.

Basically, I'm looking for a package which will read in a 1500/UB-92 file and a 
produce an 837 file as output.  I think this is the most critical since this is the 
revenue producing file.  We'll deal on the other transaction sets on a case-by-case 
basis.

Does anyone have any ideas about where to look for this software (if it even exists?)

Thanks, loads.

Bob
