Only 30 Days Until the HIPAA 5010 Compliance Date!

90-Day Period of Enforcement Discretion for Compliance With Version 5010 Deadline – CMS recently announced a 90-day enforcement discretion period for all HIPAA-covered entities regarding the Version 5010 (ASC X12 Version 5010) transition.

The compliance deadline for the implementation of Version 5010 is still January 1, 2012; however, CMS will not initiate enforcement action until March 31, 2012. CMS made this decision based on industry feedback that many organizations and their trading partners were not ready to finalize system upgrades for this transition.
