In addition to being one of the first in long-term care to complete the vendor end-to-end testing last year, AOD once again demonstrated correct coding and test payment remittance claims acceptance for efficient and compliant clinical and revenue management. Libby Nelson, Billing Coordinator at Givens Estates, applauded AOD’s assistance in “being there every step of the way during the testing process. Our testing went great and we did not have any issues. It was a smooth transition to send the claims through our network ability to Medicare; and the test file confirmations came back just as a normal claim would. We feel confident with the transition for the October 1 deadline.” In anticipation of the October 1 deadline, several AOD clients participated in the April event, validating the ability of Answers™ EHR to provide clean Part A and Part B ICD-10 codes as well as 277CA claim detail reports. “At AOD, we are committed to partnering with senior care organizations to provide solutions that are proven to not only streamline day-to-day operations but also ensure our clients are well prepared when it comes to industry compliance and connectivity,” said Charles George, CTO and VP of Research and Development. “As the ICD-10 transition approaches, our clients can feel confident well in advance of the deadline.” AOD’s solution suite, Answers™, is composed of clinical, financial, operational and point of sale modules, and AOD is focused on confirming that all relevant components are prepared for the migration to the ICD-10 code set.
