ICD-10

Healthcare has seen the regulatory environment grow in scope and complexity since HIPAA was passed in 1996.  Most recently, the new mandates for 5010 and ICD-10 mean new programs must be scoped, funded and staffed as deadlines loom.  The need to assess the readiness of affiliates and trading partners, as well as your own internal groups, makes this a significant effort.

By now, most healthcare plans and providers are 5010 Level 1 compliant, but CMS also requires "that a covered entity has completed end-to-end testing with each of its trading partners, and is able to operate in production mode with the new versions of the standard" by the December 31, 2011 deadline.  If you don't ensure that you and your affiliates are ready for 5010 and ICD-10, your revenue will be in jeopardy.

The Automation Challenge
Tracking your partners' compliance manually using spreadsheets and e-mail is extraordinarily labor intensive and error prone.  The problem is the same whether your staff or a consultant does the work - it is a complex process that is ideal for automation.  Our customers consistently tell us that they use Avior because they want their people focused on finding and fixing problems, not doing data entry.  By working with Avior, our customers save money by reducing labor, eliminate errors from manual processes, and get results in less than 30 days.

The Program Solution
Avior developed the ICD-10 Knowledge Module to meet these new needs of healthcare plans and healthcare providers.  First, the Solution Pack is ready to go with all of the components needed to run a successful compliance program.  Everything from work-flow management, to surveys, to audit capabilities is standard.  It has all of the necessary reports and dashboards to ensure effective management and oversight of the program.  Second, the Solution Pack uses Avior's BenchMark on-demand platform, which means you get results quickly, saving valuable time.

The on-demand subscription can run for the duration of the compliance program, eliminating the time and capital expense of procuring and customizing software.  Finally, the Solution Pack is built specifically for 5010 and ICD-10 programs, giving you a cost-effective way to meet your needs.  You only pay for what you need while you need it.
