National Testing Date Set for 5010

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is encouraging all Medicare trading partners to participate in National 5010 Testing Day on June 15 as part of preparations to comply with the HIPAA 5010 transaction sets by January 2012.


The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is encouraging all Medicare trading partners to participate in National 5010 Testing Day on June 15 as part of preparations to comply with the HIPAA 5010 transaction sets by January 2012.

Local Medicare Administrative Contractors will be disseminating information on transactions being tested on June 15 and some Medicaid programs also will participate, with details to come.

Setting up a national testing day does not preclude trading partners from testing with each other, including Medicare, now, CMS notes. But the testing day is an opportunity to take stock of a compliance program's status.
