Testing for HIPAA 5010 and NCPDP D.O is in Progress
The Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) began testing 5010
transactions in January 2011. Trading partners are being set up to
test on a scheduled basis. Providers should communicate with their
software vendor, clearinghouse, or billing service to make sure
these entities are scheduled for testing. Please review HIPAA 5010 and NCPDP D.0
FAQs and the February 2011 IHCP Provider
Newsletter for additional information.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has
published its final rule adopting updated versions of the standards
for electronic healthcare and pharmacy transactions originally
adopted under the Administrative Simplification subtitle of the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
(HIPAA). The mandatory compliance date for American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) version 5010 and the National Council
for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) version D.0 for all covered
entities is January 1, 2012.
