PORT CHARLOTTE, FL, March 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) "Medisoft Medical Billing Software ANSI 5010 conversion is moving along smoothly," notes Harry Selent, CEO of www.MedicalBillingSoftware.com. Although the initial deadline for compliance has passed, the government has postponed enforcement of the adoption of the new standards to March 31, 2012 to allow time for both payers and doctors to fully comply.
However, as more payers fully adopt the ANSI-5010 standards, doctors could see increased claim rejections from non-compliant claims. "Don't put your cash flow at risk" warns Selent. Verify that the latest version of your medical billing software or practice management system is able to generate ANSI5010-compliant claims.
Some payers, including Medicare, TRICARE and some state Medicaid plans, have begun rejecting electronic claims that are not in the 5010 format or do not contain certain data elements that are required for 5010. The most common rejections occur when a 9-digit ZIP code is not provided for the billing provider or service facility, or when a PO Box is used instead of a street address for the billing provider.
Selent further advises that an upgrade to the latest version of your Medisoft Medical Billing Software practice management system is the best way to submit ANSI 5010-compliant claims.

2012-03-01
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- A study recently published by the University of Kentucky's Scott Livingston shows that physiological problems stemming from a concussion may continue to present in the patient even after standard symptoms subside.

Queen's professor urges health research to focus on the positive
2012-03-01
Political Studies professor Colin Farrelly wants to see more research into remarkable examples of health – such as why some people live 100 years disease-free.
He describes the current pathology-based approach that emphasizes what causes specific diseases as "negative biology" and suggest more resources should be focused on "positive biology."
"Currently the medical sciences presume that answering the question 'what causes disease?' is the most significant question to ask and answer," says Professor Farrelly. "Positive biology encourages us to invest just as much time, ...
Reversing Alzheimer's gene 'blockade' can restore memory, other cognitive functions
2012-03-01
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- MIT neuroscientists have shown that an enzyme overproduced in the brains of Alzheimer's patients creates a blockade that shuts off genes necessary to form new memories. Furthermore, by inhibiting that enzyme in mice, the researchers were able to reverse Alzheimer's symptoms.
The finding suggests that drugs targeting the enzyme, known as HDAC2, could be a promising new approach to treating the disease, which affects 5.4 million Americans. The number of Alzheimer's victims worldwide is expected to double every 20 years, and President Barack Obama recently ...

Who's in the know? To a preschooler, the person doing the pointing
2012-03-01
If you want a preschooler to get the point, point. That's a lesson that can be drawn from a new study in Psychological Science, a journal published by the Association for Psychological Science. As part of their investigation of how small children know what other people know, the authors, Carolyn Palmquist and Vikram K. Jaswal of the University of Virginia, found they were able to mislead preschoolers with the simple introduction of a pointing gesture. "Children were willing to attribute knowledge to a person solely based on the gesture they used to convey the information," ...
New infant formula ingredients boost babies' immunity by feeding their gut bacteria
2012-03-01
URBANA – Adding prebiotic ingredients to infant formula helps colonize the newborn's gut with a stable population of beneficial bacteria, and probiotics enhance immunity in formula-fed infants, two University of Illinois studies report.
"The beneficial bacteria that live in a baby's intestine are all-important to an infant's health, growth, and ability to fight off infections," said Kelly Tappenden, a U of I professor of nutrition and gastrointestinal physiology. "Breast-fed babies acquire this protection naturally. Formula-fed infants get sick more easily because the ...
