Ruth,
This is the FAQ link you provided earlier
yesterday.� If I understand it correctly it allows local codes to be
transmitted after the compliance date if the date of service preceded 10/16/2003.� My understanding of the Final Rule is in agreement with
your statements below, not this FAQ.�

Local codes
are not to be used. The local codes either have been cross-referenced to
other valid codes or deleted. Most payers have a "cross walk"
between old local codes and new valid codes for HIPAA.

How should local codes be
managed given the HIPAA standards and guidelines?

The first part of Doug's statement
for both medical and non-medical code set use by "date" is correct.
I'd like to take it one step further for clarification:
1. Medical code sets are validated
by a) date of service, and b) each code is valid by the dates specified by the
organization responsible for maintaining that code list (per the FR � 162.1011)
2. Non-medical code sets are
validated by a) date of transaction and b) each code is valid by the dates
specified by the organization responsible for maintaining that code list (per
the FR � 162.1011)
Supporting documentation can be
found via the FR, Subpart J - Code Sets, section � 162.1000 General
Requirements - also found in the Preamble on Page 50323 under "Proposed
Code Sets Response"

It depends. If the code set is "Medical"
(such as CPT codes) , the cut-off is based on the Date of Service; for
"Non-medical" codes (such as ZIP codes and Provider Taxonomy), the
cut-off is based on the Date of Transaction.
For claims crossing a transition date, confusion
reigns. I would ensure that the two different code sets were in different
claims (codes that appear in Subscriber level segments or below), or
Transactions (codes that appear in higher-level segments).
The opinions expressed here are my own and not
necessarily the opinion of LCMH.

Subject: Cut off
dates for TCS
Have heard conflicting reports from
lots of experts that I respect... So...
Is use of the HIPAA code sets
dependent on the date of service of the claim, or the transmission date of the
file? What happens when the file contains a mix of dates of service and
some of those claims use the HIPAA codes and some do not?
