On April 25, 2012, the American Medical Association (AMA) issued a press release stating they are endorsing the IAIABC model rules for medical e-billing. The IAIABC calls for "adopting a nationally-recognized set of uniform standards to guide electronic billing in the workers' compensation system." This is important because states such as Georgia, Texas and Minnesota already have some form of e-billing initiative in place based on the IAIABC model rules. Furthermore, other states including Illinois, North Carolina, California and Louisiana are in various stages of adopting similar initiatives based on this model.
According to the release, the cost of processing an electronic claim is 46% less than the cost of processing a paper claim. The full press release can be found here.
Alpha Review Corporation is in the process of putting together a series of educational webinars regarding the e-billing initiatives being adopted by various states. If you would like to be notified when these are going to take place, please contact Alpha Review here.
