Submitting Claims to HNE<\/b><\/p>\n
HNE will follow the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) guidelines regarding ICD-10 cutover and will not accept claims with ICD-9 codes for dates of service after the defined cutover date (i.e., 10\/1\/2014). They will be returned to the provider for correction and resubmission.<\/p>\n
\u00a0HNE participating in the Collaborative Testing Program (CTP)<\/b><\/p>\n
To proactively address the challenges involved in transitioning to ICD-10, the Massachusetts Health Data Consortium (MHDC) has launched the nation’s largest state-wide ICD-10 initiative called the Collaborative Testing Program (CTP). The CTP\u2019s aim is to reduce the risk of the ICD-10 transition and save time and resources for payers, providers, vendors and intermediaries by offering\u00a0 a fully hosted, product and services testing solution for file validation, coding content and business impact. Currently over 70 organizations, including Health New England<\/b>, are involved with efforts focused on: collaborative testing design and implementation planning; common mapping and computer-assisted coding technologies; training, education, and clinical documentation best practices; and standardized communication.<\/p>\n
