I know this is probably more an issue for the Code Sets List, but this question was asked there in October and didn't get much in the way of a reply. I'm looking for someone in the know (Preferably AT CMS) who can tell me whether CMS will continue allowing a 90 day grace period for additions/cancellations of HIPAA Medical Code sets. Any documentation they could point me to that allows this non-compliance under HIPAA or clarifies a change toward compliance, would be greatly appreciated, as well. Example: Currently, if a code is slated for deletion with a 1/1/03 date, CMS will not reject a claim received with the cancelled code until 4/1/03. When "H"-Day arrives, will CMS continue this practice?
