The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will host a national education conference call on Tuesday, June 9 from 2:30-4 p.m. EST to address the implementation of HIPAA Version 5010. The call, titled, “CMS audio conference call: HIPAA Version 5010—What you need to know!” is being conducted for all Medicare fee-for-service providers. The call will give a general overview of the transition to HIPAA Version 5010 and address some of the exceptions and situations that service providers may encounter as the new version is implemented. A presentation will be given, and CMS subject matter experts will be available to answer questions. A PowerPoint presentation about HIPAA Version 5010 will be posted on the CMS 5010 website (www.cms.hhs.gov/electronicbillingeditrans/18_5010d0.asp) prior to the call.
