Darn, I was afraid of that. We are a not-for-profit repricing PPO. Our board of trustees is made up of MDs and DOs. I love EDI files and my company will be HIPAA ready this year, but many, many providers have old systems that they will not upgrade by Oct 2003. So, I suspect my inbound EDI volume will drop and my data entry cost will go up over the next few years. I was hoping that I could a least keep the ones that could send NSF formats. I would support both.
Oh well, at least the payers are suddenly returning my phone calls regarding EDI. Mr. Tracy A.
