ANSI 5010 Requirements for Prime Clinical Systems

 

ANSI 5010 is the new version of HIPAA transaction standards that replaces the current 4010/4010A1 version. Prime Clinical Systems has begun beta testing ANSI 5010 with a small group of clients.  Within the next couple of weeks you will be notified when your office can be updated and begin submitting using the new requirements.  

 

Please DO NOT change the version number until you have been approved by

Medicare (if submitting directly) and you are ready to send 5010!

Please do not change the version number for your clearinghouse until you have

verified with them that they are prepared for the 5010 version! 

 

To help you prepare for the changes, please read and follow the 10 items listed below:  

 

1. ANSI 5010 only supports NPI numbers (doctor, referring, facility). Clients who do not have an NPI number should not send ANSI 5010. Claims without the NPI number will be rejected.   

       

2. A P.O. Box may not be used in the following tables. Claims with a P.O. box address will be rejected.

 

 Clinic                   (Utility --►Set Up --►Clinic)

 Provider               (Utility --►Provider

 Referring  Doctors  (Utility --►Referring

 Facility                 (Utility --►Facility)

 

From Palmetto's Website: 5010 does require a physical address for the billing provider's location. Claims received with a P.O. Box in place of a physical address will receive an error.  Your office will need to contact Palmetto GBA Provider left @ 1-866-931-3901 for information related to this requirement.

 

3. In the following tables, a valid zip code extension must be used, otherwise claims will be rejected. Zip code extensions can be obtained from the United States Postal Service website: http://zip4.usps.com

   

 Clinic                   (Utility --►Set Up --►Clinic)

 Provider               (Utility --►Provider)

       

4. For Medicare Secondary Claims Only:

In Intellect, in Registration --► Regular --► Patient Insurance, or in OnStaff 2000 (Unix OS) in the New Patient --► Patient Insurance screen, the list of <Status> codes has been replaced with the following list. The old alpha codes are obsolete with ANSI 5010 and should be replaced with the new numeric codes. Valid values for the <Status> field are:   

 

 12 Medicare Secondary Working Aged Beneficiary or Spouse with Employer Group Health Plan  

 13 Medicare Secondary End-Stage Renal Disease Beneficiary in the Mandated Coordination Period with an Employer's Group Health Plan

 14 Medicare Secondary, No-fault Insurance including Auto is Primary

 15 Medicare Secondary Worker's Compensation  

 16 Medicare Secondary Public Health Service (PHS) or Other Federal Agency   

 41 Medicare Secondary Black Lung  

 42 Medicare Secondary Veteran's Administration   

 43 Medicare Secondary Disabled Beneficiary Under Age 65 with Large Group Health Plan (LGHP)  

 

5. For Institutional/UB Claims, the following fields are now required; in Intellect under the Charges --►Encounter --►UB Encounter screen or in OnStaff (Unix OS) under the Charges --►UB- Encounter screen. Claims will be rejected if this information is not filled-out with the appropriate codes based on your billing requirements:

 

 <Admission Type> (Field added in only the Intellect program. For OnStaff 2000, this field is handled internally by the program.)

 <Admission Src> (Admission Source)

 <Status>   

 

Note: In Intellect, a drop down list has been included for all three fields.  

 

6. The version for sending claims in ANSI 5010 format must be updated to the new version number. See below for the appropriate version number based on the type of billing your office transmits:

 

Intellect (Windows OS): Utility --►Insurance --►Tele Com screen, <Version> field.
Note: The <Version> field was previously in
Utility --►Insurance but that field will no longer be utilized in 5010.

 

 Part B Version (Professional/HCFA): The version number has changed from 004010X098 to 005010X222A1.

 Part A Version (Institutional/UB): The version number has changed from 004010X096 to 005010X223A2.

 

OnStaff 2000 (Unix OS): Utility --►Insurance screen, <Ver> field

  

 Part B Version (Professional/HCFA): The version number has changed from 004010X098 to 00501.

 Part A Version (Institutional/UB): The version number has changed from 004010X096 to 00501.  

 

Please remember: DO NOT change the version number until you are ready to send 5010!      

 

7. The current ANSI 997 Report has been replaced with the new ANSI 999 Report and reads (basically) the same. There is a new Segment(s) on the ANSI 999 Report, a line(s) beginning with 'IK'; for example, the line 'IK5*A~' indicates the claim was 'A'ccepted. If the claim was 'R'ejected, this line would read 'IK5*R~'. For any 'R' (rejections) in ANY 'IK' fields/lines of the ANSI 999 Report, fax your ANSI 999 Report to PCS at 616-449-5615. Include your client ID, contact person, and phone number.

 

8. The new ANSI 277CA Report (Claim Acknowledgement) replaces the current Claim Acknowledgement/RSP report; the report is no longer available with ANSI 5010

 

 Intellect (Windows OS): The 277CA file can be accessed from Billing--►TeleCom--►Access Claim Report. This file is available only in a view mode.      

 OnStaff 2000 (Unix OS):

 

The 277CA file will be converted to a report form and printed.  

 

9. Maximum diagnoses supported under ANSI 5010 is 12 diagnosis codes per claim. Under ANSI 4010 it was 8. Even though ANSI 5010 supports more diagnoses in the electronic file, you may still relate only up to 4 diagnosis codes to a procedure. For example, if you enter 12 diagnosis, when posting the charge at the Rdx column you may enter up to 4 Rdx pointers per charge: 1,2,3,4 or 1,3,4,5 or 3,4,5,6 etc. You may not submit a claim with Rdx pointers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 etc. 

 

10. As of today, PCS has been advised that Medi-Cal is not yet prepared for ANSI 5010 submissions and, therefore, claims should continue to be submitted in ANSI 4010. From the home page of www.medi-cal.ca.gov., visit the "Newsroom" for current information. The following FAQ was found under: Medi-Cal Fiscal Intermediary Transition - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

 

Will the new HIPAA-compliant 5010 and NCPDP transaction standards be implemented before ACS becomes the FI?  

 

Answer: No. HIPAA 4010 transaction standards will be in use until January 1, 2012. Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12N Version 4010 A1 and National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) 5.1 (interactive) and NCPDP 1.1 (batch) transaction standards will be in use until January 1, 2012. For more detailed information about the new ASC X12N5010 and the NCPDPD.0 (interactive) and 1.2 (batch) standards, refer to the Medi-Cal website at www.medi-cal.ca.gov. Current and future updates can be found in the "Newsroom" area of the home page and on the "HIPAA Update" page, linked under the "References" tab at the top of the home page.
