Achieving HIPAA 5010 compliance is the first step in transitioning to ICD-10-compliant health care claims systems. The deadline for physician practices to achieve HIPAA 5010 compliance – and avoid a breakdown in claims payment and the threat of federal fines – is January 1, 2012.
Many practices are a long way from achieving HIPAA 5010 compliance, and some don’t even have a plan for getting there.
The solution is to work with a Medical Billing and practice management service that will not only guide you toward 5010 (and ultimately ICD-10) compliance, but one that will also make your medical billing and practice management system compliant and take on the burden of overcoming obstacles– without charging additional fees.
