National Version 5010 Testing Day approaching

CMS will provide an opportunity for physicians and Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) to come together on June 15 to test their progress in transitioning to version 5010.

Version 5010 is the new set of electronic standards that practices need to have in place in order to eventually transition to ICD-10. To continue to receive payments, all practices will need to be using version 5010 by Jan. 1, 2012. Additional information about the testing day is available on the CMS website.

For more information about version 5010, ICD-10 and preparations for the transition, please visit ACP's Running a Practice website.
