Final Opportunity to Volunteer for ICD-10 End-to-End Testing in July

During the week of July 20, 2015, a final sample group of providers will have the opportunity to participate in ICD-10 End-to-End Testing with Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) and the Common Electronic Data Interchange (CEDI) contractor. CMS is accepting additional July volunteers from Mon., May 11 through Fri., May 22, 2015. It would be an opportunity to participate in End-to-End Testing with Medicare prior to the Thurs., Oct. 1, 2015 implementation date.

Approximately 850 volunteers will be selected to participate in the July testing. This nationwide sample will yield meaningful results since the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services intends to select volunteers representing a broad cross-section of provider, claim and submitter types, including claims clearinghouses that submit claims for large numbers of providers. Please note that testers who are participating in the January and April testing weeks are able to test again in July without re-applying.

Volunteer forms are available on your MAC website.
