HIPAA version 5010 has new Erratas for the certain transactions. Compliance with the Errata must be achieved by the original regulation compliance date of January 1, 2012. View the transactions affected by the Errata version online here.

CMS, in conjunction with the Medicare FFS Program, announces two National 5010 Testing Days to be held June 15 and August 24, 2011.
