2010Birmingham, AL, March 12, 2010......As part of MediSYS' commitment to streamline healthcare information, MediSYS announced today the addition of ordering LabCorp tests from within MediSYS ePrescribe and MediSYS Electronic Health Records. Electronic lab results have been available for practices with qualifying external lab volume for sometime from over 10 external lab reference companies direct to MediSYS EHR or ePrescribe. The addition of LabCorp orders from within these applications will unify lab test processing and streamline documentation for many healthcare providers.
This bi-directional interface with MediSYS and LabCorp will eliminate the practice having to place orders via a separate LabCorp PC or other method. With this new release, for those who meet the LabCorp requirements, practices may order a lab test from MediSYS EHR or ePrescribe in just a few clicks. The LabCorp order is automatically documented in the patient's record then transmitted real-time to LabCorp for processing. The lab results are then automatically matched to the order creating a complete record of the lab activity. Lab orders that do not have an associated result are reported as an outstanding lab for follow up. Fewer steps for lab orders, cross-referenced results and automatic documentation lead to better patient care and efficient quality control.
In addition to the LabCorp bi-directional electronic ordering & results interface, a bi-directional interface with Southern Diagnostic Laboratories is available. Lab result interfaces with MediSYS EHR and MediSYS ePrescribe include: LabCorp, Quest, Southern Diagnostic Laboratories, Doctors Laboratories, Skin Pathology, Cytopath, Bostwick Laboratories, Cunningham Pathology, Orchard Lab, Alabama Pathology, Bridger Pathologies Lab, and others.
MediSYS is 100% dedicated to improving the workflow and revenue of physicians, and has been for over twenty years. MediSYS serves more than a thousand physicians through medical practice management software, electronic health records, medical billing services and practice management services.

2010The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will delay until January 3, 2011 the implementation of Phase 2 which results in non-payment if the billed service requires an ordering/referring provider and the ordering/referring provider is not on the claim.
In early October, 2009 The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) began Phase I to implement an expanded claim process to verify that the ordering/referring provider on a claim is eligible to order/refer and is enrolled in Medicare.
Phase 2 - CEDI and VMS will still receive a national file from PECOS and will determine if the ordering/referring provider is required for the billed service. If the billed service requires an ordering/referring provider and the ordering/referring provider is not on the claim, the claim will not be paid. If the ordering/referring provider is on the claim, CEDI will verify that the ordering/referring provider is on the national PECOS file. If the ordering/referring provider is not on the national PECOS file, the claim will not be paid.

2010In early October, 2009 The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) began Phase I to implement an expanded claim process to verify that the ordering/referring provider on a claim is eligible to order/refer and is enrolled in Medicare. Phase 1 provides a warning edit. Phase 2 results in unpaid claims.
In both phases, they determine if the ordering/referring provider on the claim matches the providers in the national PECOS file: CEDI will verify the National Provider Identifier (NPI) of the ordering/referring provider reported on the claim against the national PECOS file.
Phase 2 has been delayed until April 5, 2010.
Phase 2 - CEDI and VMS will still receive a national file from PECOS and will determine if the ordering/referring provider is required for the billed service. If the billed service requires an ordering/referring provider and the ordering/referring provider is not on the claim, the claim will not be paid. If the ordering/referring provider is on the claim, CEDI will verify that the ordering/referring provider is on the national PECOS file. If the ordering/referring provider is not on the national PECOS file, the claim will not be paid.
