Two Special Genius Post Oct 1st ICD-10 Calls

Genius Solutions is planning two special conference calls after the October 1st ICD-10 deadline to address up-to-the minute news, tips, and resolutions to any ICD-10 issues that our clients are experiencing after the October 1st deadline.

There are two dates scheduled, Tuesday 10/6/2015 and Friday 10/9/2015. Both calls will be at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time.

Possible Writepad Fee Slip Issue

IF you are currently having a problem with the fee slip in Writepad transferring your billing code information over to eTHOMAS, Writepad is aware of the issue and is working on it. 

Per Writepad, you can work around this, for now, by turning the automatic fee slip option off and manually sending for the codes to go in the ICD10 box.  Because you are completing out the note in Writepad, there should be no "double sending" of charges once you can automatically send again.

Genius Solutions eTHOMAS October 1st instructions for ICD-10

First

You should complete as much of your ICD-9 posting as soon as possible. This means all dates of service BEFORE today (October 1, 2015) should be entered and billed out in ICD-9. You will need to use the new ICD-10 codes for all of your billing with a date of today (Oct 1st), and moving forward.

Next

Once you've billed all of your ICD-9 claims out, and are ready to make ICD-10 the default setting for posting claims in eTHOMAS, you need to turn on the ICD-10 setting in eTHOMAS, which is called ICD10DEFAULT, then you can start entering your new claims using the ICD-10 diagnoses.

On this last pre-ICD-10 day...

We've been working with you for over three years on getting ready for ICD-10.  Hopefully you feel as confident about it as we do.  For any final items you think you may have missed or are unsure of I am here to remind you of some of your available ICD-10 resources, so you can double-check and relax.

The Genius Solutions ICD-10 Resource Page (with stuff from us, Medicare, our YouTube Videos, etc.). 

You can still sign up and participate in free ICD-10 webinars today or tomorrow: General eTHOMAS webinar listings and ehrTHOMAS webinar listings.

There is also a link to Mark's special END of the MONTH (September) Conference Call he held last Friday.

If you've participated with us on this journey we know you've got this, because we've prepared you for it.  If you have prepared properly, tomorrow will just be another billing day - with 70,000+ more choices!  Congratulations, go ahead, pat yourself on the back, get another cup of coffee, and prepare to be paid!

Michigan Blue Cross? You MUST sign up with Emdeon to continue receiving electronic remittance!

Per Blue Cross, providers must enroll with Emdeon in order to retrieve their BCC (Blue Cross Complete) vouchers and receive 835 transactions from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.  On Sept. 14th, if you have NOT signed up with Emdeon, you will longer be able to receive or access remittance information through web-DENIS.

Effective September 10, 2015, providers must enroll with Emdeon to retrieve their BCC vouchers and receive 835 transactions from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.


To enroll, visit emdeon.com (http://www.emdeon.com/resourcelibrary/#119) to locate forms and  information about the set up process. An enrollment guide (http://www.emdeon.com/resourcepdfs/Enrollment%20Guide.pdf) is available to walk you through the steps of completing the ERA Provider Setup Form for remittance files.

Per Blue Cross, "if you experience interruptions with receipt of 835s, contact Emdeon at (800) 451-5059". I'm guessing this means after Sept. 14th.
