Questions to Ask Your Vendor for the Version 5010 UpgradeThe compliance deadline to upgrade to Version 5010 from Version 4010/4010A was January 1, 2012. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced an enforcement discretion period for 90 days until March 31, 2012, during which it would not initiate enforcement action with respect to any HIPAA-covered entity that is non-compliant with the ASC X12 Version 5010 (Version 5010), NCPDP Telecom D.0 (NCPDP D.0) and NCPDP Medicaid Subrogation 3.0 (NCPDP 3.0) standards. However, you should continue to upgrade your systems as promptly as possible in order to meet this deadline. In order to ensure a smooth upgrade prior to April, you will need to complete both phase I internal and phase II external testing of Version 5010 transactions. As part of your external testing, you will need to conduct tests with outside trading partners, which include vendors, clearinghouses, billing services, and payers. Your vendor is a critical partner in achieving Version 5010 compliance. You should take the following steps to evaluate your vendor and vendor products to ensure a timely Version 5010 upgrade:
You might want to also ask your vendor some of the following questions about the Version 5010 upgrade to help assess your readiness for this upgrade:

Stay on Track and Complete Your Version 5010 UpgradeAs 2012 begins, it is important to keep your focus on compliance with Version 5010 and beginning to plan for the transition to ICD-10. 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. To find out about steps to take toward a successful upgrade, consult the new CMS fact sheet: Version 5010: How Health Care Providers Can Ensure a Smooth Transition. Remember: Upgrading to Version 5010 is a critical first step for the nationwide transition to ICD-10 that will take place on October 1, 2013. It is important that you finish this process, so that you can continue to prepare your organization for the ICD-10 transition. Keep Up to Date on Version 5010 and ICD-10.
