Home Education/Outreach Workgroup Etiquette

Homepage for the Technical Workgroup (This page is still under construction)

This page represents the consolidation of three previous workgroups (Attachments, Connectivity and Technology/Implementation) that are now subworkgroups included on this page. The old wiki pages for those workgroups have been preserved for historical reasons but are now inactive. All the technical issues will be developed by this workgroup, and the results and recommendations will be passed to the Education and Outreach workgroup so they can be published to the world.

The discussion and development of these issues will be mostly using mailing lists, the Comments section of this page and other pages created for specific discussion topics, and postings on this wiki pages and associated pages. Once a week, on Thursday morning at 10:00 Central, there is a conference call to address those topics that need to be addressed "in person". Take a look at the Etiquette document for recommendations on how to use our time the most efficiently. Feel free to contribute your content or send a request to post content to sebinrsa@gmail.com.

Next conference call on Thursday August 28th at 10:00 Central, 60 minutes

Call-in number: 616-597-8000

Access code: 505468#

Please update your Participant Information for the minutes. To add/change information, please send an email to Kepa Zubeldia.

We will continue discussing the topic of Payer ID and connectivity, using some of the information in these pages and the FAQ and the Enumeron proposal. We are preparing an educational paper on this topic. And we are looking at http://WorkCompCoverage.wcd.oregon.gov/ and https://www.ewccv.com/cvs/ as reference points. We are also working on a Payer ID query process to be used by providers in identifying where to send the eBills and what Payer ID to use.

For the call on July 24th we will be discussing SeBin Electronic Billing Volume Flow Obstacles Analysis.doc and also Submission and Delivery of Electronic Workers (draft final).doc. Please review them before the call.
