5010 Transition - (New) - January 1, 2012 - (CMS has granted a 90 day grace period)

We understand software changes cause concern. At Accumed, we will make the transition to 5010 easy. Your staff will have a familiar software experience with the 5010 and they won't face challenges in ramping up on the application. We encourage and recommend you take this time to prepare your staff by becoming familiar with the new billing format and seek educational opportunities to better prepare your organization for life in the post-5010 world.

In order to make the transition as easy as possible we ask that all customers request a login/password to our Customers Only website. We will be posting all information related to the 5010 transition in our Customers Only Website. If you do not have a Customer Only Login and password, please go to this link to sign up: http://www.accu-med.com/RequestAnIdForm.asp
