On this last pre-ICD-10 day...

We've been working with you for over three years on getting ready for ICD-10.  Hopefully you feel as confident about it as we do.  For any final items you think you may have missed or are unsure of I am here to remind you of some of your available ICD-10 resources, so you can double-check and relax.

The Genius Solutions ICD-10 Resource Page (with stuff from us, Medicare, our YouTube Videos, etc.). 

You can still sign up and participate in free ICD-10 webinars today or tomorrow: General eTHOMAS webinar listings and ehrTHOMAS webinar listings.

There is also a link to Mark's special END of the MONTH (September) Conference Call he held last Friday.

Michigan Blue Cross? You MUST sign up with Emdeon to continue receiving electronic remittance!

Per Blue Cross, providers must enroll with Emdeon in order to retrieve their BCC (Blue Cross Complete) vouchers and receive 835 transactions from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.  On Sept. 14th, if you have NOT signed up with Emdeon, you will longer be able to receive or access remittance information through web-DENIS.

Effective September 10, 2015, providers must enroll with Emdeon to retrieve their BCC vouchers and receive 835 transactions from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.


To enroll, visit emdeon.com (http://www.emdeon.com/resourcelibrary/#119) to locate forms and  information about the set up process. An enrollment guide (http://www.emdeon.com/resourcepdfs/Enrollment%20Guide.pdf) is available to walk you through the steps of completing the ERA Provider Setup Form for remittance files.

Per Blue Cross, "if you experience interruptions with receipt of 835s, contact Emdeon at (800) 451-5059". I'm guessing this means after Sept. 14th.
