Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) 5010 and D.0 Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) Trading Partner Testing Direction for Calendar Year 2011
The purpose of this Change Request (CR) is to provide the 5010 A/B MAC with the requirements for conducting testing of certain HIPAA transactions, including the errata changes, with their electronic data interchange (EDI) trading partners. This testing direction is to specific
Part A and Part B (A/B) MACs which are, as of this time, in a position to implement 5010, specifically the following Jurisdictions: J1, J3, J4, J5, J9, J10, J12, J13, and J14, as well as the Common Electronic Data Interchange (CEDI) contractor. Other MACs, not currently in a position to implement 5010, must provide level of effort estimates only if they will be in a position to become 5010 operational prior to the effective
date of this CR. A/B MACs currently in Corrective Action Plan or under a protest condition need not reply to this CR at this time. A future CR will address these MAC jurisdictions.
