Webinar Title: Version 5010 and ICD-10: Closer than you think
Date: Tuesday, November, 15, 2011
Time: 1:00pm Mountain
Featured Speakers:
• Christi Dant, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

Major changes are coming to electronic health care transactions and diagnosis and procedure codes. Version 5010 is the new standard covered entities must use for HIPAA electronic transactions beginning January 1, 2012, and a transition to ICD-10 codes will happen on October 1, 2013. These changes go far beyond IT systems and will substantially affect clinical, administrative and business operations.
In this webinar, Christi Dant of the CMS Office of E-Health Standards & Services, along with Bill Finerfrock of the National Association of Rural Health Clinics, will explain what you need to know in making the transition to these new requirements, from the provider and the facility perspectives. They will also discuss advantages these new requirements offer over previous transaction versions and ICD codes.
Slides for this presentation will be available on the RAC website prior to the start of the webinar.
