Thanks for the update, glad it worked.

My question is WHY, WHY, WHY would the update have done this????? No answer from AC, still looking for those folks that beta tested this version. V12 is still a fiasco and the conversion of the data bank of meds which should have improved prescribing did not. Hopefully Version 12.1 or whatever is next will fix some issues. I did not attend the meeting Wednesday.

Regarding COVID strain-specific antibody testing.... I understand that you can just send a brain biopsy to NIH and wait 6 months. BUT, apparently you are not willing to take that little extra step.... Sorry, my bad, I could not find commercially available tests for this purpose, but on a research level whole genomic sequencing of samples is done to identify strains, which can possibly be detected weeks after infection, FYI... Thanks for the thank you!

@VTWilson,

Reach out to me if you would like a server quote to run AC v12. $15k is highway robbery. Period. I can also provide you with onsite and offsite backups and so forth.

As patients often say to their doctors: it may be time for a second opinion.

TY

Just found this with version 12. I put in 99395 and the description in AC is the description for 99385.
I am not sure it will matter much but wanted to show this problem for all those doing their own billing.

Nope Jon this is our Bert! Sounds like we could have some fun times in RI. I went tot he conference in 2011 and was planning on attending in 2012. Hurricane Sandy tried to wipe out the east coast in 2012 so that conference was canceled and all subsequent ones went away with the sale of AC to PriMed. PriMed tried to do local meet ups at their conferences but these were not the same as what Jon B did in RI back in 2011. We met at the Providence Biltmore Hotel. Had a great welcoming party (loved the beer sampler, especially the local Narragansett), great meet ups, informational breakout sessions and last but certainly not least the 'Bertman Round Table Discussions'. The round table discussions and I call them were between users and one programmer at each table, Jon B stood on the stage up front and went around the room asking for suggestions and fixes. I was very impressed he would do this in front of so many people.

JBS, you may have been there, I know there were others on this forum that were in attendance like Wendel. It would be nice now to get to visit with some of you again and maybe go watch Bert do karaoke!

How can healthcare providers ensure their billing practices remain compliant with ever-changing industry regulations and coding standards? Does MZBilling offer software solutions that provide regular updates to address these changes effectively, ensuring accuracy and peace of mind for providers?

Agreed.
And https://www.icd10data.com is our go-to source.

Of course master lists of the thousands of codes is sometimes necessary, but honestly... 95% of the time, we use the same ones. Which is why a customizable code list is so helpful. Like it used to be in AC.

For example, maybe once a week I use "abnormal lft's" or "biliary obstruction". I should be able to remember these but my personal hard (headed) drive is too full, so I am left to search through the AC listings or go to the link I just provided. For example, how nice would it be to be able to take the AC listing, change the name for "other ulcerative colitis without complications" to "ulcerative colitis" or even "uc". Having a search that learns to work like my brain is the goal... not making my brain work like the search.
