End of Support for Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7

Microsoft will end all support (including security patches, updates and technical assistance) 
Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 support will end on January 14, 2020

Continuing to use systems that are no longer supported with security patches will put your organization at-risk and violates HIPAA compliance requirements to protect devices against malicious software. 

eMDs will discontinue testing software and applications in SQL Server 2008 R2 & Windows Server 2008 R2 environments, and therefore will not be able to support clients using these environments. 
All environments maintained by eMDs have been updated to ensure strict levels of security. 

eMDs ended support of SQL Server 2008 R2 on July 9, 2019
eMDs will end support for Windows Server 2008 R2 & Windows 7 on January 1, 2020. 

If you do not have a plan in place, we encourage you to begin planning for an update as soon as possible

 


Medisoft Version 24 will be coming soon
New Features Planned:

New Transaction Entry Alerts (Charge Entry Messaging)
Using customized and multiple criteria, the biller will be notified of potential incorrect or incomplete charges before sending a claim to the insurance carrier. Also the rules and alerts will be displayed for incoming unprocessed transactions.  


Add Enhanced Eligibility Response Displays
Now much more readable and useful along with expanding sections for easier information access


New Multiple Mobile App Enhancements
Both back-end development upgrades and numerous new feature capabilities


Report Header Updates
More clarity as to dates being shown on some Accounts Receivable reports


NDC Codes
CPT codes in Unprocessed Transactions will now pull NDC information that is stored in the Medisoft Procedure List
 


New Medicare Numbers
 
For Medicare & Railroad Medicare: Starting January 1, 2020
You MUST submit claims using the New MBIs (Medicare Beneficiary Identifiers)
(with a few exceptions), no matter what date you performed the service.
 
For more information see the Medicare Website:
 
https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/New-Medicare-Card/index.html 
https://www.medicare.gov/forms-help-and-resources/your-medicare-card.html
 
 
Link to the Railroad Medicare Card Sample: 
https://www.rrb.gov/sites/default/files/2018-01/New%20Medicare%20Card%20Sample.pdf
 
The new Railroad Medicare cards have the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board Logo
Also on the bottom of the card it says: Railroad Retirement Board
 

The one exception involves people enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, also known as Medicare Part C. These individuals will continue to use their plan’s identification card for access to Medicare benefits, as these cards already have a unique identification number that is not the social security number.



Reminder about the new Medicare ID Numbers

In Medisoft; do not enter the dashes & you don’t need spaces for the dashes. 
MBIs are numbers and upper-case letters.


Medicare uses numbers 0-9 and all letters from A to Z,
except for S, L, O, I, B, and Z.

 
Note; if the card has a number 0 or 1 this is not the letter “i” or “o” 
use the Numbers 0 or 1 


A look ahead, on October 1st there will be ICD-10 code changes 
Please be aware of claim rejects for codes that may code as inactive
This would be for Dates of Services on/or after 10/1/2019
