Delayed Implementation of X12N Version 5010 Paperwork Segment
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is delaying the implementation of the PWK (paperwork) segment associated with the X12N Version 5010 837 Professional and Institutional electronic claim transaction originally scheduled for July and October 2011. This means Medicare billers will continue to submit additional documentation which is needed for claims adjudication following the existing process established by their Medicare claims administration contractor.
CMS will give Medicare billers ample notice before implementing change requests (CR) #7041 and #7306, which change how additional documentation for claims adjudication is submitted. For additional information related to CR #7041 and #7306, please refer to the MLN Matters articles associated with these CRs:
