THIN-EDI PLATFORM UPDATE

Post by Gavin Walker » Tue May 15, 2007 2:05 pm

After the recent THIN/Availity merger, Availity announced the THIN platform will be discontinued to existing submitters as of December 31, 2007.

The following payers and states are impacted by the THIN/Availity merger:

Medicare B for IL, MI NM and TX
BC/BS for IL, MI NM and TX
Medicaid for TX
IDPA for IL
Tricare for all regions 1-12
Commercial claims for all states as listed on the THIN Payer ID List

Medisoft has secured an extension for all new submitters through May 31, 2007. Beginning June 1, 2007, the Availity Direct Module (AVAP) will be provided to any new submitter. Please note, that current users of the GPNT Direct Module submitting claims to the THIN platform may continue to submit claims through December 31, 2007. However, the THIN platform will be discontinued for all users as of December 31, 2007.

The Availity Direct Module (AVAP) is compatible with both Medisoft Version 11 and Version 12.

The AVAP Direct Module will be provided to current Medisoft Version 12 GPNT users who have previously purchased this module. For those customers using Medisoft Version 11, the upgrade fee for the AVAP Module is $299. An AVAP upgrade fee of $549 applies to all customers on versions prior to Medisoft Version 11. In addition, these customers will need to purchase an upgrade for their core Medisoft software.

Availity recently removed the THIN Payer List and all THIN Enrollment forms from their website. If you experience technical issues or are denied access to the THIN platform as a new submitter prior to May 31, 2007, please contact us.

Countdown to THIN Platform Sunset

Post by Gavin Walker » Mon Jun 11, 2007 3:19 pm

Due to the volume of migrations, we urge you to select a replacement solution as soon as possible. You will need to enroll with Availity and complete new carrier agreements. This process can take 4-8 weeks to complete. Do not wait until the last minute to initiate this migration.

Because the THIN platform is no longer available for new submitters, we are no longer accepting new orders for GPNT/THIN modules. However, upgrades will be available for this module through November 31, 2007.

Promotions

The following promotions are available for GPNT/THIN customers through November 31, 2007:
Version 12 customers will be sent the Availity module at no charge. We will ship the AVAP Direct Module to Version 12 customers within 60 days of release

Version 11 customers can purchase an upgrade to the Availity module without having to upgrade their core software for $299 through November 30, 2007. After that date, Version 11 users can purchase the Version 11 compatible module at the standard upgrade price of $549

NEW AVAILITY ALL-PAYER DIRECT MODULE AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER

Post by Gavin Walker » Thu Aug 30, 2007 9:29 pm

We are pleased to announce that the new Availity All-Payer (AVAP) direct module will begin shipping the week of September 10, 2007. Pre-orders may be placed for the Availity module beginning Tuesday, September 4, 2007.

Medisoft Version 12 customers who purchased the GPNT Direct module (THIN) will automatically receive the Availity module at no charge and as a result, you will not need to place an order if you are on version 12.

Customers using Medisoft Version 11 who previously purchased the THIN module may purchase an upgrade to the Availity module for $299 from September 4, 2007 through November 30, 2007.

Availity Communication

You may have received a letter from Availity regarding the migration process from the former THIN Platform to the new Availity Health Information Network. This letter stated that access to the THIN platform would be revoked effective 30 days from the date of the letter. Under Medisoft's agreement with Availity, this deadline does not apply to Medisoft customers.

Our previous communication stated that Medisoft users of the GPNT Direct Module submitting claims to the THIN platform may continue to submit claims through December 31, 2007. However, the THIN platform will be discontinued for all :!: users as of December 31, 2007, without exception. The following payers and states are impacted by the THIN/Availity merger:

    Medicare B for IL, MI NM and TX
    BC/BS for IL, MI NM and TX
    Medicaid for TX
    IDPA for IL
    Tricare for all regions 1-12
    Commercial claims for all states as listed on the THIN Payer ID List


We are no longer accepting new :!: orders for GPNT/THIN modules. Upgrades, as described above, will be available for this module through November 30, 2007. Please contact us with questions about the Availity All Payer Module promotion.
