A new CMS Website is designed to help physicians and their practices to prepare for the Version 5010 transaction set change. CMS is offering a series of free webinars, Get Ready 5010, January 11-13, 2011. Click here for more information.

Practices can also learn about 5010 and ICD-10 on the NCMS Website at https://www.compassionatecarenc.org/practice_management/icd10.html.

Many payors have begun testing using the 5010 platform with practices that have already updated their systems.  Practices may want to test their system before the January 1, 2012 deadline for 5010 compliance.
