Version 5010 Date Approaching Fast

CHICAGO — "Take a minute and think about where you will be six months from now," says a new article on the Version 5010 transaction standards. Instead of getting ready for the holidays you could be scrambling to deal with the Jan. 1, 2012, implementation of Version 5010, according to Will You Be Ready? This Month's Message from CMS, published in AIHMA's (American Health Information Management Association) June newsletter.

Version 5010 supports the new ICD-10 code sets and must be in place ahead of the changeover to the new codes in 2013. For information about ICD-10 and Version 5010, visit CMS' ICD-10 website.
