It is crucial for FCSO electronic trading partners to schedule 5010 transaction testing now!

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires all HIPAA-covered entities to complete 5010 testing with each of their trading partners and successfully transition to the new 5010 data format before January 1, 2012. However, with only one month left until mandatory implementation, those that continue to wait to schedule 5010 testing risk significant delays in their transition to production. If you're not sure where to begin, don't worry—we can help.

If you are ready to test, call FCSO's EDI department—888-670-0940 (option 5)—and one of our 5010 transition experts will help you understand 5010 testing protocols and schedule your testing session.
