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
