Verisk Health announced today that it has received certification from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for the processing of institutional encounter data for all Verisk Health clients that have completed EDS (Encounter Data System) implementation.
The company previously achieved Front-End Certification on the first day that CMS began the new Encounter Data System Front-End Testing certification process, and all Verisk Health clients have received Professional End-To-End Certification as well.
“We continue to work closely with CMS to ensure our custom processes are compliant with CMS requirements and our clients are confident in the knowledge that their revenue will not be put at risk,” said Jamie Wells, chief operating officer, Revenue Integrity division, Verisk Health. “Further, we are confident our clients will maintain a competitive advantage based on the completeness and integrity of the data submitted to CMS.”
