CMS officials reinforced the unwavering deadline at HIMSS14. During a panel session, “ICD-10 Compliance Date: Are You Ready to Transition,” CMS officials offered strategies and resources for a successful switch.

Later this month, CMS will release an Administrative Simplification Transaction Testing checklist, which will offer best practices for testing, according to the report.
