Are you prepared for 5010? If not, your bottom line might be the one to suffer.

The new HIPAA electronic standard, 5010, update is something that will impact all healthcare entities, including physician practices, and as such, must be fully understood. The bottom line is this: If a practice's HIT partners cannot handle 5010 transactions on January 1, 2012, its claims will be rejected by insurance carriers.

To avoid cash flow interruptions during implementation, practices must assess not only their own preparedness for 5010, but also the readiness of their business partners.
