The
Version 5010 deadline was on January 1, 2012; however, because of
the 90-day enforcement discretion period for
all HIPAA covered entities upgrading to Version 5010 (ASC X12 Version
5010), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will not initiate
enforcement action until April 1, 2012.
CMS made this decision based on
industry feedback that many organizations and their trading partners were not
yet ready to finalize system upgrades to be compliant. CMS
encourages you to continue internal testing as well as external testing of
Version 5010 transactions with trading partners to ensure compliance for
Version 5010.
Although enforcement action will not be taken prior to April
1, 2012, it is important that you continue to move forward to meet Version
5010 requirements as soon as possible. In addition to testing, if you have not
yet created a plan for Version 5010, you should do so in order to meet these
compliance deadlines.
