HCAI’s fall system release, Release 3.20, which is planned for implementation on October 1, 2018, also has no impact to PMS vendors. However, HCAI strongly recommends regression testing against the HCAI test environment to make sure your systems will work as expected when this release goes live.

Please note that FSCO has confirmed, starting October 1, 2018, all facilities enrolled with HCAI must submit Form 1 to insurers electronically, using either a practice management system (PMS) that is integrated with HCAI, or the HCAI web channel.

Invoices for attendant care services will continue to be submitted and processed outside of the HCAI system. As a result, PMS vendors are encouraged to implement the Form 1 into your PMS software.

Recall that the Form 1 was introduced to HCAI as a pilot program in 2016.

Details of the Form 1 interface can be found in the PMS vendor package.

What’s Next?

  • Share this HCAI Update with individuals at your organization responsible for scheduling resources

  • Prepare to configure your systems to use TLS v1.2.

  • Implement the Form 1 document as part of your PMS software prior to October 1, 2018.
