David, the fact that the AHA testified at an NCVHS hearing that there is strong concern that some (many) state Medicaids will not be ready is not a valid reason to push back the compliance deadline. If one took this approach, there would never be a compliance deadline at all.
Rachel Foerster 847-872-8070 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Frenkel Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2011 11:42 AM To: EDI-L Subject: Re: [EDI-L] Regarding Upgradation of Version from 4010 to 5010 Testimony of the American Hospital Association before the Standards Subcommittee of the National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics “Industry implementation of updated and new HIPAA Standards and Code Sets X12 Version 5010, NCPDP Version D.0, NCPDP Version 3.0 and ICD-10” June 17, 2011 ...A growing area of concern is the state Medicaid programs. We understand that some programs – such as California, Illinois, New York, and Pennsylvania – will not be ready to handle the newer version of 5010 by January 2012, or even use the ICD-10 codes by October 1, 2013. This is particularly troublesome because it would result in dual reporting of ICD-9 and ICD-10. Such delays are unacceptable and add significant operational costs and administrative burden to an already costly undertaking. CMS could potentially facilitate our understanding of Medicaid readiness status by surveying states to gauge their readiness for 5010 and their ICD-10 progress as well as undertaking a national day of testing for state Medicaid programs.
