WEDI teams with CMS for 5010 resources

The Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI) is collaborating with other industry and government entities to support the healthcare industry’s upgrade to ASC X12 5010. This support will take the form of a multi-tiered campaign to gather feedback, track challenges, identify and provide guidance to correcting ASC X12 5010 implementation-related issues, especially among commercial payors.

The campaign includes the launch of the online WEDI 5010 Issue Reporting System and a series of free live webcasts. WEDI, in collaboration with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), ASC X12 and other industry representatives, will analyze submitted issues and work to identify appropriate solutions or industry guidance as needed.

The online WEDI 5010 Issue Reporting System allows all affected parties, including providers, payors, clearinghouses and vendors, to submit their issues associated with implementing ASC X12 5010, and search through a database of current documented problems. This web-based system offers an interface with multiple sorting categories and sub-categories, including the option to view previously submitted issues and responses to those posted issues.

 The first webcast in the series is set for April 19 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EST. The Issue Reporting System is located on WEDI's website.
