Inside the Change Healthcare Cyber Attack Crisis : What's Latest?

What you'll learn from this topic:
1) Current state of the union after the Change Healthcare attack
a) Change Healthcare still down
b) Providers are the main focus as EDI being down can have the companies shut down their operations. Providers have gone back to manually printing medical forms to submit to payer by mail
c) Backlog of electronic medical data if Change Healthcare comes back in mid March but can we trust their services again
d) Backlog of ERA's and payments
e) UHG has set up a financial assistance program for those affected here if this helps: www.healthcare...
2) How are small practices coping up with the incident?
Case by case basis -When their EHR/EMR/PM software support team has chosen to put their head in the sand and wait it out not offering any configurational changes, it basically holds the providers claims and payments in limbo. For others the focus has changed to alternative solutions for backlog and requests for accelerated payments from gov't (Medicaid / Medicare) and commercial payers, since a wave of delayed or lack of payment is upon them.
3) What are the solutions being offered as alternatives in the industry?
a) Many practices have switched clearing houses such as Availity as far as delay of payments there is no easy answer - AHA has been petitioning the government to offer assistance since the loan payments offered by UHG appear underwhelming.
b) Falling back to historical methods of printing claims
4) What can you do to future-proof your business?
a) EDI Support LLC has collaborated with Synchronized Systems owned software pieces to assist with Healthcare processing.
b) You can also use EDI Support LLC for SaaS/iPaaS and get your software and services configured.
c) We can help you figure out along with Peter which EDI clearing house makes the best sense for assisting your company.
