Get Ready 5010: Version 5010 Test Education Week

Monday, April 4, 2011  through Friday, April 8, 2011

The healthcare industry has less than a year left to prepare for the Version 5010 transaction set change on Sunday, January 1, 2012.  Have you started to prepare for the transition?  Are you getting ready to test with your trading partners?

To assist with compliance, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is supporting an education effort, Get Ready for 5010, that will sponsor a second set of free webinars Monday, April 4, 2011 through Friday, April 8, 2011, focusing on testing for 5010.  All providers should be planning to test soon if they expect to meet the end of year compliance deadline.

The webinars will feature speakers from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and provider and payer organizations, and will offer practical information and early lessons learned on:
§  Testing for Large and Small Practices and Facilities
§  How to Test with Medicare Fee-For-Service
§  Testing with Commercial Payers and Clearinghouses

The Get Ready 5010 initiative is supported by a broad group of healthcare industry stakeholders representing providers, payers, government, and vendors who are coordinating their efforts to support a smooth and timely transition to Version 5010.

Whether you are well along with your Version 5010 project or just starting, you will find value in one or more of these free webinars.  For more information and to register for these webinars, visit http://www.GetReady5010.org.  We hope you will join us!
