I understand where you are coming from that Work Comp programs are except in terms of local codes. However, isn't it possible that some of your payers are payers for more then one type of insurance, and they will be upgrading their systems for electronic compliance, and that some day they will want you to standardize? Otherwise, what is the point of the 'First Report of Injury" transaction? Isn't that work comp related? Any info you can give me would be appreciated.

So far the CMS has been reluctant to grant national codes for our local codes because of our exempt status. There has to be someway for you to test local codes to make sure they are not all stripped from the data stream.

Study the codes that are available and see if they don't cover your situation. If not, you could theoretically ask the standards body for new codes to be authorized, but this is a lengthy process and I wouldn't count on it.

We are in the process of testing 4010 and our certifying authority is rejecting the local codes. Is it true that sending these code will be considered non-compliant?
