On the insurance side, we're facing some interesting challenges in this area. As you might imagine, there are many legacy systems that perform mission-critical functions and cannot be reasonably replaced or upgraded in time for this transition.
To address some of these challenges, we're deploying "crosswalk" tools with logic to translate codes from 9 to 10 and back where possible and necessary. These tools allow us to accept information from service providers at both levels and reconcile them to a single back-end system.
We also are adopting and integrating newer EDI systems to accommodate the accompanying 5010 requirements.
