Hey there!
Our office has verbally been advised several things about 5010 that do not seem correct to me. First, we were advised that in box 33-billing provider information that we can no longer use a PO box as the address but have to use a physical address which does not sound right to me. Next, we were advised that our EMR is not doing anything to prepare for 5010 because the EDI clearinghouse will make all the necessary changes for us prior to claims submission for years to come which again does not sound right to me. Lastly, if the above is correct and our EMR does not do anything to prepare for 5010 then when we submit paper claims they will remain in the 4010A1 format and it seems we will have issues with the payers at that time.
Can anyone provide some places where documentation states the above questions are correct or not correct so I can take that information to the appropriate people.
Thanks!
Kim, CPC
