Jonathan, Neither your revenue size, as a provider, nor the number of full time equivalents that you employ, has anything to do with it. You would need to apply for an extension if you will be conducting any of the designated transactions electronically and in a nonstandard way after 10/16/2002.
The revenue test is for small health plans, which have until 10/16/2003 to comply anyway, and don't need an extension (or at least not the current ASCA one). The FTE test is for possible exemption from the separate ASCA requirement that all Medicare claims be submitted electronically. - Zon Owen - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan May" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 9:16 AM Subject: Transaction Extension > I apologize if this has been previously discussed but appreciate any > responses-- > > Would a healthcare provider, whose receipts are less than $5 million per > year and has fewer than 20 FTEs, be required to apply for an extension to > the October 16, 2002 compliance date?
