THCIC announces issue with 5010 specifications

The Texas Health Care Information Collection (THCIC) has announced an issue with the 5010 specification released in January 2012. In the specification, revenue code 320 was omitted from the list of revenue codes required to be included in the outpatient data set. All 2012 submissions for Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council (DFWHC) member facilities have been impacted by this issue. DFWHC has modified system parameters to include revenue code 320. Extracts for all facilities are being regenerated and the outpatient data is being submitted for all facilities. Facilities will not be penalized for these resubmissions.
