5010 Transactions
 Healthcare Claims - 837 – Institutional and
Professional
 Remittance Advice – 835
 Eligibility Inquiry/Response – 270/271
 Claim Status Inquiry/Response – 276/277
 Claims File Functional Acknowledgement - 999
 Claims Acknowledgement– 277CA
Intended Purpose of 5010
 Provide the infrastructure on ICD-10 Diagnosis
Codes and Present on Admission Indicators
 Reduce redundancy and provide uniformity in
transaction structure and usage of data content
 Reduce dependency on trading partner
companion guides which many entities were
forced to rely on with 4010A1
270 & 271 Transactions
 Primary and Secondary insurance will now be
identified
 5010 version allows for a search by Member
ID, last name only or date of birth
276 & 277 Transactions
 Claim Status can be reported – Provider Level,
Claim Level and Service Line Level
 Addition of Account Number field, receive
“cleaner” responses.
999 File Acknowledgement
Previously each Medicare Administrative Contractor produces custom error
reports that varied by jurisdiction
The Functional Acknowledgement 997 is being replaced by the 999 transaction
The TA1 and 999 reflect technical problems that must be addressed by the
software preparing the EDI transmission
The 999 is output from the Translator indicating either R (Rejected), E (Accepted
with Errors), A (Accepted)
Clearing houses and software vendors can use these transactions to produce
reports tailored to their customers.
277CA Transaction
Proprietary error reporting (277U, 277R ) will be replaced with the
277CA Claims Acknowledgement transaction
Claim by claim reporting, accepted claims and returns claim
number and rejected claims with the error codes indicated in one
file.
The 277CA reflects a data problem that must be addressed by
resources in the Billing area; Billing staff will likely need reports (or
work queues) to be produced using the 277CA transaction in order
to identify claim corrections before resubmission.
5010/ICD-10 Timelines
5010 and the MACs
 MACs and CEDI will support the submission of
4010A1 and 5010 837 claim transactions in
production starting April 5, 2011 through
December 31, 2011 March 31, 2012.

5010 Early implementation
 During the week of December 5-9, 2011, National Government
Services experienced processing issues with the new Part A
Common Edit Module (CEM) which has resulted in a backlog of
claims to be processed through the CEM.
 Some payers cut-over early without notice resulting in file
rejects.
 Inbound sent in 5010 format but Outbound sent in 4010
format, due to mapping issue as per 5010 specs in Loop
2010AA Billing provider name, Ref Segment, Data Element 1H CHAMPUS Identification Number
is not required but it is essential in 4010 which cause this error
“BILLING PROVIDER 2ND-ID IS INVALID”
Top Problematic Payers

 Claims not making it to payers
 No visibility into claim status
 Increased rejections
 Delayed/missing remits
 Vague rejections
 Degradation of support
 Some entities were reporting 10x production issues &
8x volume increase in call center activity
5010 Issues post 1/1/2012
 Edits have been updated to accept LOB indicator of "FI"
on 5010 FEP claims.
 Some payers had dark days where their system was down
and did not provide notice. No files could be sent (837’s)
or received (835’s)
 P55819_496 Submitter not approved for electronic claim
submissions on behalf of this entity
 Claims containing Occ Code 50 will reject. This is a known
issue and there is no established fix date (resolved
1/23/2012)
 WV Medicare B - has distributed both ANSI 835 files with
"T" for Test and "P" for Production in the same file.
Caused remit delay.
 Other varied and sporadic ERA (835) delays.
 Some providers were “unlinked” to established
Clearinghouse with remits going to another.
 Rejection of secondary claims that contain negative
dollar amounts - CMS has not issued a statement as to
how to report claims paid by the primary payer with
negative values, something that was acceptable under
the 40.10 guidelines.
 Invalid rejection of claims for NPIs not being registered
with the submitter. The NPI issue was resolved by the
various Medicares, affected files had to be resubmit,
which resulted in payment delays due to the “ceiling”
being reset.
 The FISS system added new DRG codes with the January
release, however these were not included in the CEM
reference file. FISS is aware of this issue and will be
correcting under PAR ZFSZ6613. There is no scheduled
release date for this issue at this time.

Crossover Claim Issues
Important Information Concerning Medicare Outreach Efforts to
Supplemental Payers Directing Their Payments to Incorrect
Addresses
 Over the past several weeks, many physician/practitioner billing
offices have notified their servicing A/B Medicare Administrative
Contractor or Part B Carrier and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) that various supplemental payers have directed
payment, arising from Medicare crossover claims, to incorrect
payment addresses. The problem appears to have escalated as the
supplemental payers have transitioned from receipt of crossover
claims in version 4010 professional claims format to the version
5010A1 professional claims format. CMS believes it understands the
full dimension of the problem and wishes to pass along those details
to affected physician/practitioner billing offices through this article.
 http://www.cms.gov/MLNMattersArticles/Downloads/SE1212.pdf
CMS is not receiving similar complaints from institutional
providers as tied to Pay-to Address information reported
on HIPAA 5010 837 institutional production
COB/crossover claims.
Possible Cause #1:
 For HIPAA ANSI X12-N 837 version 4010A1 professional claims, Medicare's Part
B claims processing system (Multi-Carrier System or MCS) usually only created
the 2010AA loop, including the N3 and N4 segments. Since the HIPAA 4010A1
837 Professional Claims Implementation Guide had no prohibition against
reporting Pay-to Address-related information—such as Lock-Box or P. O. Box
address information, as retained within PECOS and the internal
physician/practitioner files as the physician/practitioner’s “check or remittance
address”—in the 2010AA N3 and N4 segments, the Part B claims system
created 4010A1 837 professional outbound crossovers that only contained
2010AA loop address information.
 Under HIPAA 5010 requirements, Medicare must now create a 2010AB loop,
with N3 and N4 segments, if the Pay-to Provider Address differs from the Bill-to
Provider Address. This means that the address that most often used to be
reflected in the 2010AA loop N3 and N4 address segments (which in reality was
the Pay-to Address) now has to be reflected in the 2010AB N3 and N4
segments. Now, under HIPAA 5010, the address that Medicare reflects in the
2010AA N3 and N4 loops is truly the Bill-to Provider Address (or “master”
and/or “physical address,” as captured within PECOS and the internal Medicare
files).
Conclusion tied to Possible Cause #1: Supplemental payers
with Coordination of Benefits Agreements (COBA) may
systematically still be reading the 2010AA N3 and N4 loops as
the basis for determining where to direct their supplemental
payments.
Possible Cause #2:
 The physician/practitioner’s “check or remittance address,” as
maintained by Medicare is no longer valid. As previously
mentioned, the “check or remittance address” becomes the
2010AB N3 and N4 segments on outbound version 5010A1
837 professional crossover claims.
Remedy for Possible Cause #2:
 If the address reflected in the 2010AB N3 and N4 segments is
incorrect, the physician or practitioner will need to contact its
servicing A/B MAC or carrier to have this information updated
through appropriately established procedures.
Possible Cause #3:
 There may be instances where the supplemental payer
uses the address information that it maintains within its
internal files as the basis for directing supplemental
payments to a given physician or practitioner, and that
information is out of date.
Remedy for Possible Cause #3:
 The physician/practitioner’s billing office will need to
address this matter with the supplemental payer directly
for resolution.
Crossover Claim Issues
 The COBC activates the following edits once COBA trading partners
move into HIPAA 5010 or NCPDP D.0 production:
 N22226—“4010A1 production claim received, but the COBA trading
partner is not accepting 4010A1 production claims.”
 N22230—“NCPDP 5.1 production claim received, but the COBA
trading partner is not accepting NCPDP 5.1 production claims.”

Crossover Claim Issues
 Breaking News – Friday, March 16th
 Our Part A claims processing system (FISS) maintainer
has identified a situation whereby taxonomy codes
reported on incoming version 5010A2 claims are not
reliably mapping to outbound version 5010A2
COB/crossover claims. This issue is precipitating
numerous problems for State Medicaid Agencies as well
as a small number of commercial payers.
Navigating the “stuff”
 If you have missing claims
 Claim not showing up as accepted from a 277ca

Contact Clearinghouse partner
 Claim showing as sent to payer but no payer reporting
back
 Contact payer – if the payer has no information
 Contact Clearinghouse partner
Navigating the “stuff”
 Check your provider enrollment and NPI information for
correct reporting of Billing and Servicing provider
information with each of your payers.
 Actively monitor CMS, payers and clearinghouse partner
websites for news.

Reporting Impact
 Claim Status Category changes remove all “Not Advised” codes
which includes pended claims. Removing the Pend/Suspend
category codes on the 835 means that Plans/Payers will now
have to report pended claims on the 277CA instead of the 835.
 New 5010 standards be implemented/delivered uniquely by
HIS/PMS, clearinghouse and individual payers. The potential
(reality) is increase is upfront edits at clearinghouse, increase
in front end rejections based on tighter edits and reporting on
277ca and increase in 835 denials do rule changes, system
changes and unintended consequences.

As COBA supplemental payers move into production on the
5010A1 and A2 claim formats, CMS requires that they
continue to accept their “pre-HIPAA 5010” production Version
4010A1 claims for 14 full calendar days after their cut-over to
the new claim formats.

For a limited timeframe (likely 30 days after a supplemental
payer cuts over to Version 5010 for crossover claims receipt),
providers, physicians, and suppliers will need to file the
affected claims directly with their patients’ supplemental
payers.

 During the 90 day non-enforcement period (January 1, 2012—
March 31, 2012), Medicare will have the systematic capability to
convert incoming claim formats in accordance with external
supplemental payer specifications concerning production claims
format. That is, Medicare will have the ability to:
 Take incoming claims submitted by the provider community in
hardcopy (paper) format or Version 4010A1 or NCPDP 5.1 batch
claim formats and convert them to HIPAA Version 5010A1 or
5010A2 claim formats, as appropriate, or NCPDP D.0 batch claim
formats for those COBA supplemental payers that already have cutover to exclusive receipt of Version 5010 COB claims in production;
and
 Take incoming claims submitted by the provider community in the
Version 5010A1 or 5010A2 or NCPDP D.0 batch claim formats and
convert them to HIPAA Version 4010A1 claim formats or NCPDP 5.1
COB batch claim format for those supplemental payers that have
not cut-over to production use of the HIPAA Version 5010 COB claim
formats or NCPDP D.0 batch claim format.

Version 5010 Issues and Concerns
Physician practices have reported numerous problems across various areas of the United States stemming
from the transition to Version 5010. The most frequently reported problems have involved:
• Issues with practice management and/or billing systems that showed no problems during the testing phase
with their MAC, but once the practice moved into production phase, found their claims being rejected
• Issues with secondary payers
•Rejections due to various address issues (pay-to address being stripped/lost from claims; pay to address can
no longer be the same as billing address; no PO Box address)
• Crosswalk NPI numbers not being recognized
• “Lost” claims with MACs
•Certain "not otherwise specified" claims being denied due to not having a description on the claim (CMS sent
a notice of correction of this issue Jan. 27, 2012)
•Unsuccessful claims processing (with no reason cited for rejection) despite using a “submitter” that was
approved after successful testing with CMS

CMS Financial Preparation Advice
https://www.cms.gov/ICD10/Downloads/SmoothTransition.pdf
 Establish a line of credit. Providers should work with their
financial team to establish or increase a line of credit to cover
potential cash flow disruptions. A line of credit will help a
provider’s practice prepare for potential delays and denials in
payer claims reimbursements due to noncompliant Version
5010 transactions being submitted. A practice should also
evaluate its cash reserves.
