CMS Will Run Medicare Claims with ICD-10 Codes Through 'End-to-End' Testing
The CMS will offer end-to-end testing of Medicare claims using the ICD-10 diagnostic and procedure codes, an attempt to deliver much sought-after assurances that its contractors will be prepared for the Oct. 1 implementation date.
The CMS will offer “end-to-end” testing of Medicare claims using the ICD-10 diagnostic and procedure codes, an attempt to deliver much sought-after assurances that its contractors will be prepared for the Oct. 1 implementation date.
The testing will allow the participating providers and suppliers to submit test claims to the CMS with ICD-10 codes and receive a remittance advice explaining how the claims were processed, according to the CMS.
The goals are to demonstrate that providers or other submitters, such as claims clearinghouses, are able to successfully send claims containing ICD-10 codes to the Medicare fee-for-service claim systems; that CMS' software changes made to support ICD-10 result in appropriately adjudicated claims, based on the pricing data used for testing purposes; and that an accurate remittance advice is produced.
