QS/1 certified to submit claims through PrescribersConnection

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Healthcare automation solutions provider QS/1 on Monday announced that it has been certified to transmit electronic claims through PrescribersConnection for long-term care facilities.

 

PrescribersConnection is used among facilities, prescribers and pharmacies to deliver electronic records to fill orders, send confirmations, resupply requests and discontinued medications, QS/1 stated.

 

“We are pleased to work with PrescribersConnection to help our customers to transmit their data securely,” said Michael Ziegler, QS/1 senior manager for marketing and analyst. “Because of new federal mandates, facilities have to find new ways to transmit this vital information.”

 

Long-term care facilities were excluded from this rule until the provision was removed in November 2012 by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the company said. On Nov. 1 of this year, LTCs had to begin adhering to the new format: NCPDP Script 10.6. 

 

“Many eMAR vendors are choosing PrescribersConnection as their connection between all points for SCRIPT 10.6 transmissions,” Ziegler said. “QS/1 was quickly certified because we have the infrastructure in place to conduct these transmissions.”
