Providers, suppliers, billing companies and clearinghouses can test their ICD-10 coding during these three weeks:
• Nov. 12 to 21, 2014
• March 2 to 6, 2015
• June 1 to 5, 2015
Healthcare providers are expected to transition to ICD-10 by Oct. 1, 2015. The transition was rescheduled earlier this year from the original Oct. 1, 2014 deadline. CMS hopes the test periods will give providers confidence in CMS and Medicare Administrative Contractors as well as prepare for ICD-10 implementation.
