From: CMS Kansas_City_CMS [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 21, 2011 10:14 AM To: CMS Kansas_City_CMS Subject: Medicare Update ~ Important Medicare FFS statement regarding Versions 5010 and D.O Important Medicare FFS statement regarding Versions 5010 and D.O On Fri Nov 17, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Office of E-Health Standards and Services (OESS) announced that it would not initiate enforcement with respect to any HIPAA covered entity that is not in compliance on January 1, 2012 with the ASC X12 Version 5010 (Version 5010), NCPDP Telecom D.0 (NCPDP D.0) and NCPDP Medicaid Subrogation 3.0 (NCPDP 3.0) standards until March 31, 2012. Notwithstanding OESS' discretionary application of its enforcement authority, the compliance date for use of these new standards remains January 1, 2012 (small health plans have until January 1, 2013 to comply with NCPDP 3.0). Medicare FFS will soon issue direction to the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) on how these transactions are to be processed on January 2, 2012. Further guidance related to Medicare Fee-for-Service will be available via listserv messages and the CMS website. Links to information on Version 5010, NCPDP D.0, and NCPDP 3.0 are available at www.CMS.gov/Versions5010andD0.
