Version 5010 Enforcement Discretion Period Ends in 44 days.
The deadline for all HIPAA-covered entities to upgrade to Version 5010 electronic standards was January 1, 2012. However, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) initiated an enforcement discretion period until June 30, 2012 to give the industry additional time to complete testing. CMS made this decision based on industry feedback that many organizations and their trading partners were not yet ready to finalize system upgrades for this transition. If you have not yet finalized your Version 5010 upgrade, you should be working to complete this step as soon as possible.
