Electronic Transactions Standards: 5010 and ICD-10
On January 16, 2009, HHS announced the final rules for 5010 and ICD-10 intended to improve patient care quality, enhance claim processing, improve reporting and promote interoperability. On March 5, 2009, the Obama Administration released their decision to proceed with both final rules on ICD-10 and the Electronic Transaction Standards without changes to the effective dates.
Compliance dates include January 1, 2012 for the Transaction Code Sets of Version 5010, Version D.0 and Version 3.0 with small health plans having until January 2013 for Version 3.0 compliance. This provides lead time for industry compliance with the October 1, 2013 requirement for ICD-10 code sets used to report healthcare diagnoses and procedures. HIMSS commends HHS on the release of these final rules. HIMSS participated in the public comment process responding to the two proposed rules. HIMSS comments to CMS in October 2008 suggested additional time was needed for resource training and testing between trading partners to ensure successful interoperability. HIMSS supports the government’s efforts with these two rules and provides support and resources to help ensure industry compliance with these two rules.
5010: The “5010” transactions and “D.0” pharmacy standards address electronic claims, electronic eligibility verification, electronic claim status, electronic referral certification and authorization, electronic remittance and more. Version D.0 of the pharmacy standards facilitate both coordination-of-benefits claims processing and Medicare Part D claims processing. Medicare systems are expected to be ready to handle the new 5010 standards by Jan. 1, 2011. Medicare will continue to conduct the current 4010A1 standard and the new 5010/D.0 standards from Jan. 1, 2011, until Jan. 1, 2012. This should allow those ready to use the new standards to begin on Jan. 1, 2011, while providing an additional year for other providers to be ready.
