Health Care Industry & Regulatory Update
• Medicare announced two rounds of ICD-10 testing with physicians/provider:
• Functional Acknowledgement Testing: this is where you test the “chain of trust” partners from the
provider to the payer (Medicare) using an ICD-10 coded claim; Medicare will edit and compliance check the
claim and return a response to the sender; there is no claim adjudication or ERA is being generated during this
round of testing; test claims can be sent to Medicare anytime up to the October 1, 2015 implementation date;
• Special Functional Acknowledgement Testing Weeks: Medicare submitters will have access to
real-time help desk support during the weeks of November 17th through the 21st, 2014; March 2nd through the
6th, 2015 and June 1st through the 5th, 2015.
• End-to-end testing: this is where ICD-10 coded claims are sent to the Medicare (the payer), adjudicated
and an ERA is generated back to the provide; participation in Medicare’s end-to-end testing requires enrollment
and selection by your MAC; on a national basis, Medicare is limiting the number of testing providers to 2550.

Health Care Industry & Regulatory Update (cont’d)
• NUCC changed the CMS 1500 professional paper claim form to accommodate ICD-10
(see www.nucc.org); the transition to this new form began in January 2014 and continues
across the health care industry.
• Partial code freeze continues until one year after the implementation of ICD-10: • Only codes for new diagnosis or new technologies will be considered for exception inclusion.
• Last regular updates to ICD-9-CM and ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2011.
• Regular ICD-10 updates will begin on October 1, 2016.
• Miscellaneous health care industry and regulatory updates will be provided from our
panelists when applicable and when time permits.
