Barbara,
Does using the DSHS website obligate you to use only their electronic billing? I'm looking for some instructions to see how much data entry is required using this portal. I remember in the pre-HIPPA days, there was a wonderful MAA ASP software in which all I needed to do was enter the patients MAA number, DOS, CPT, ICD-9 only. Is this new system just as simple? They apparently got rid of this system due to "HIPPA" but interestingly, DSHS does not need to (nor does it attempt to ) comply with HIPPA by using modifiers, POS codes, TOS codes that are non-standard.
