The DHFS continues to work on the implementation of the new IMPACT system, which has the functionality built-in to take the quarterly files from RISSNET and upload them into the new MMIS. However, a recent analysis of the IMPACT project is showing a shift in implementation date into future years. To mitigate the shift in the timeline and the need for a corrective plan update, the DHFS will instead modify the existing legacy MMIS system to intake the NCCI and MUE files and modify the claims editing process to incorporate the NCCI and MUE rules. This will then be maintained on a quarterly basis in alignment with the publications on RISSNET.
