SMART DATA SOLUTIONS INTRODUCES ITS 5010/ICD-10 CONVERSION SOLUTION

St. Paul, Minnesota – January 7, 2011 – Smart Data Solutions, a Minnesota-based provider of data processing solutions for the health care industry, has introduced their solution to the 2012 conversion to 5010 and ICD-10 for all HIPAA transactions. Smart Data Solutions has already completed development of all ANSI X.12 5010 transactions and is currently trading 5010 with all clients who have requested it.

Although each client’s 5010 needs require some level of customization, Smart Data Solutions has established a proven strategy with reduced implementation times that assists clients with 5010 integration. Smart Data’s 5010 implementation includes: connectivity to all trading partners, 5010 upgrade for all trading partners, and a fully functioning provider and eligibility matching engine. In addition an extensive set of reporting and management tools are included.

Smart Data’s solution dispels payer’s and network’s concerns that the conversion will require significant resources on their part. SDS conversion services shield payers from the complexity associated with disparate trading partner’s transactions. Our solution also allows payers timely and cost effective adaption of the 5010 standard. Payers also have the option to subsequently “upcode” or adopt ICD 10 per business requirements.

For more than ten years, Smart Data Solutions Inc. has been leveraging technology to meet the needs of health care claims managers.
