Therabill Frequently Asked Questions

The Frequently Asked Questions board in Therabill is going public.  Therabill has a FAQ board where members can go and ask questions about how to use Therabill.  The questions are normally answered within 30 minutes (often sooner).  I thought that some of the content in the FAQ might be beneficial to the public as a whole.  Therefore, I have created a WordPress site to publish some of the questions and the replies that were given.  This site is located at www.therapist-billing.com.

Search ICD-9 and HCPCS by Profession.

Therabill is creating a public code search tool.  After testing, this will be incorporated directly into Therabill.  In addition to searching and browsing codes, using analytics from Therabill, you can view what codes are being used by specific therapy profession.  For example, a mental health counselor can view HCPCS codes that other mental health counselors are using in Therabill.

5010 Deadline Extended - Therabill is already 5010 compliant

CMS has announced that the deadline for compliance with the new 5010 EDI transaction standards has been extended from January 1st, 2011 to March 31, 2011 due to many complaints that many software companies, clearinghouses and even Medicaid will not be able to make the original deadline of 1/1/2012.  

Therabill would like to announce that Therabill is 5010 ready.  Therabill has made all of the needed changes such as requiring a physical street address and 9 digit zip code on the software side.  We have also fully tested our 5010 transactions with several clearinghouses.  We will begin submitting 5010 electronic claims on 1/1/2012.  Therabill will always go above and beyond to make sure there is no interruption of service to our members who faithfully use our software.
