Update: Express Plus Transitioning to PC-ACE Pro32

Attention All Express Plus Users

The common electronic data interchange (CEDI) currently supports both Express Plus and PC-ACE Pro32 for billing durable Medical equipment (DME) electronic claims. After careful consideration, CEDI has decided to transition support to one free software; PC-ACE Pro32. As of April 1, 2010, the CEDI Help Desk will no longer support the Express Plus software. CEDI feels this will best meet the needs of the DME Supplier Community.

To prevent the loss of information for Express Plus users, a tool has been created to copy database information from Express Plus into the PC-ACE Pro32 software. The conversion tool and instructions to assist in copying the information and completing the conversion to PC-ACE Pro32 can be accessed from the CEDI Web site at the following link http://www.ngscedi.com/downloads/Downloadindex.htm

Note: This conversion will not erase or delete any information currently stored in the Express Plus software.

Benefits offered by the PC-ACE Pro32 software include:

  • Stores and maintains the code lists including Diagnosis Codes, Procedure Codes, and Modifiers and receives quarterly updates for these code sets;
  • Checks the claims for missing or invalid information and provides for easy editing by highlighting the missing or invalid information;
  • Claim data entry is numbered according to the CMS-1500 paper claim form;
  • Will be updated for version 5010 and be made available to PC-ACE Pro32 users.
For more information about the PC-ACE Pro32 software, access the User Guide and help documents located on the CEDI Web site at the following link http://www.ngscedi.com/downloads/Downloadindex.htm

If you are having difficulties with the conversion and additional assistance is needed, contact the CEDI Help Desk at ngs.cedihelpdesk@wellpoint.com or 866-311-9184.
