Version 5010 enforcement again delayed

Last Thursday, CMS announced that it would again delay enforcement of the version 5010 transactions standards for electronic claims. This time the delay will extend until June 30.

The new standards, which are being implemented in preparation for the transition to the ICD-10 code set, were scheduled to begin on Jan. 1. In December, CMS announced that it would delay enforcement until the end of March, and with this latest announcement, enforcement will begin six months after originally scheduled.

More information about version 5010 and the delay are available on the Running a Practice section of the ACP website.
