PORT CHARLOTTE, FL, May 17, 2012 (Press-News.org) Medical practice management software users have been issued a temporary reprieve from the Government, reports Harry Selent, President of www.medicalbillingsoftware.com. The government still allowed the deadline to pass without extending the deadline, however, they delayed the enforcement of the new rules for physicians, therapists, billing services, and others that submit medical electronic claims until June 30, 2012.
"The new ANSI 5010 rules are required for a number of reasons" reports Selent. "One of the main reasons is to allow for the new ICD-10 diagnosis codes to be released soon. The diagnosis codes are much longer and contain more information that the previous codes."
The upside of the delay in enforcement is that any stragglers out there that delayed purchasing an upgrade of their medical practice management software program, can still upgrade and avoid penalties for non-compliance.
Selent recommends medical and insurance billing software users contact their vendor to obtain pricing and availability of upgrading, and suggests that it is not very likely that the enforcement deadline will be extended again.
Begun in 1989 as Computerized Business Systems encourages medical offices to take advantage of the many benefits of insurance billing software and medical practice management software, and electronic medical records software.
www.medicalbillingsoftware.com specializes in helping single practice doctors, podiatrists, chiropractors, therapists, and other medical professionals and small group practices maximize their revenue, reduce claim rejections, increase cash flow, and reduce AR thru innovative medical billing software solutions and practice management software.
Medical Practice Management Software Users Have Been Given a Temporary Reprieve from ANSI 5010, But Still Required to Meet June 30 2012 Deadline
While the deadline for ANSI 5010 compliance didn't change, the government has postponed "enforcing" compliance with the new standards.

Protective molecule, ACE2, also proving its worth in diabetic patients
2012-05-17
ACE2, a molecule that has been shown to prevent damage in the heart, is now proving to be protective of the major organs that are often damaged in diabetic patients.
Gavin Oudit, a researcher with the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, and his colleagues at the University of Florida, found that lab models that lacked ACE2 had worse cardiovascular complications related to diabetes.
"We show that if you take ACE2 away, they [lab models of diabetes] do very poorly," said Oudit. "It worsened their heart function and their vascular function."In patients, if you have high levels ...
'Gaydar' automatic and more accurate for women's faces, psychologists find
2012-05-17
After seeing faces for less than a blink of an eye, college students have accuracy greater than mere chance in judging others' sexual orientation. Their "gaydar" persisted even when they saw the photos upside-down, and gay versus straight judgments were more accurate for women's faces than for men's.
The findings, published May 16 in the open-access online journal PLoS ONE, suggest that we unconsciously make gay and straight distinctions.
"It may be similar to how we don't have to think about whether someone is a man or a woman or black or white," said lead author Joshua ...
Freshwater crayfish found to have substance covering teeth astonishingly similar to human enamel
2012-05-17
BEER-SHEVA, Israel, May 16, 2012 – A team of Israeli and German scientists from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) and the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces have found an enamel-like layer in the mandibles of freshwater crayfish, according to an article in Nature Communications titled "Enamel-like Apatite Crown Covering Amorphous Mineral in a Crayfish Mandible."
Dr. Shmuel Bentov from BGU's Avram and Stella Goldstein-Goren Department of Biotechnology Engineering discovered that this species of crayfish protect their teeth against wear in a very specific ...

Graphite enters different states of matter in ultrafast experiment
2012-05-17
For the first time, scientists have seen an X-ray-irradiated mineral go to two different states of matter in about 40 femtoseconds (a femtosecond is one quadrillionth of a second).
Using the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray Free-Electron Laser (XFEL) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford, Stefan Hau-Riege of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and colleagues heated graphite to induce a transition from solid to liquid and to warm-dense plasma.
Ultrafast phase transitions from solid to liquid and plasma states are important in the development ...
Experimental agent may help older people with chronic leukemia
2012-05-17
Standard treatment for chronic leukemia is too harsh for many older patients.
Early clinical trials testing indicates that these patients respond well to the experimental drug ibrutinib.
This agent merits further testing as a first-line therapy for older chronic-leukemia patients.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The experimental drug ibrutinib (PCI-32765) shows great promise for the treatment of elderly patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), according to interim findings from a clinical trial.
The phase I/II trial, co-led by researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive ...
3-telescope interferometry allows astrophysicists to observe how black holes are fueled
2012-05-17
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– By combining the light of three powerful infrared telescopes, an international research team has observed the active accretion phase of a supermassive black hole in the center of a galaxy tens of millions of light years away, a method that has yielded an unprecedented amount of data for such observations. The resolution at which they were able to observe this highly luminescent active galactic nucleus (AGN) has given them direct confirmation of how mass accretes onto black holes in centers of galaxies.
"This three-telescope interferometry is ...
Revised glioblastoma classification should improve patient care
2012-05-17
The system doctors use to classify patients' malignant brain tumors is outdated.
Researchers have revised the system to accommodate treatment advances and molecular markers.
The new system will be validated in future clinical trials for malignant gliomas.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Radiation oncology researchers have revised the system used by doctors since the 1990s to determine the prognosis of people with glioblastoma, which is the most devastating of malignant brain tumors.
The outdated system was devised for glioblastoma and related brain tumors that were treated by ...
Children with rare, incurable brain disease improve after gene therapy
2012-05-17
Using gene transfer techniques pioneered by University of Florida faculty, Taiwanese doctors have restored some movement in four children bedridden with a rare, life-threatening neurological disease.
The first-in-humans achievement may also be helpful for more common diseases such as Parkinson's that involve nerve cell damage caused by lack of a crucial molecule in brain tissue. The results are reported today (May 16) in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
The children in the study, who ranged in age from 4 to 6, inherited a rare disease known as aromatic L-amino ...
Sumatra faces yet another risk -- major volcanic eruptions
2012-05-17
CORVALLIS, Ore. – The early April earthquake of magnitude 8.6 that shook Sumatra was a grim reminder of the devastating earthquakes and tsunami that killed tens of thousands of people in 2004 and 2005.
Now a new study, funded by the National Science Foundation, shows that the residents of that region are at risk from yet another potentially deadly natural phenomenon – major volcanic eruptions.
Researchers from Oregon State University working with colleagues in Indonesia have documented six major volcanic eruptions in Sumatra over the past 35,000 years – most equaling ...
