The Medical Group Management Associate (MGMA) announced a request for a HIPAA 5010 contingency plan from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), calling on the department to not penalize health plans that only meet the most critical data content requirements, and not the full list of requirements.<\/p>\n<p>This request comes on the coattails of a MGMA study, as reported by HealthcareITNews.com, that reveals only 4.5 percent of respondents rate their 5010 implementation as fully complete, while 50 percent rate it as between 26 and 99 percent complete, and 40 percent rate it as less than 25 percent complete.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What steps should you take toward HIPAA 5010 implementation? <\/strong>The American Medical Association (AMA) provides a preparatory fact sheet on planning and tactically implementing HIPAA 5010 in time for the January 1, 2012 deadline:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Impact Analysis <\/strong>\u2013 Conduct an internal impact analysis to determine how much of a change the switch to 5010 will have on your current business practices and systems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contact your Vendors, Payers, Billing Service and Clearinghouse <\/strong>\u2013 Contact vendors for specific details regarding system upgrades, and ask them about when they expect their upgrades to be completed, and when they\u2019ll be able to accept 5010 transactions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Installation of Vendor Upgrades<\/strong> \u2013 Schedule the system upgrades according to your vendor\u2019s readiness, and ensure the installation of upgrades is complete.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Internal Testing and Staff Training<\/strong> \u2013 Once upgrades are completed, conduct internal testing of your systems to ensure you can generate and handle the 5010 transactions. Leave a margin of time for issue resolution and staff training on the new system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>External Testing with Clearinghouse, Billing Service and Payers<\/strong> \u2013 Contact your vendors to conduct external testing with them to ensure you can send and receive transactions properly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the Switch to 5010 <\/strong>\u2013 After completing external testing, you may switch to using only 5010 transactions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For more HIPAA guidance, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/otavawebsite.wpengine.com\/reference\/tips-for-passing-a-hipaa-audit\/\">Tips for Passing a HIPAA Audit<\/a> or sign up for our ongoing, free webinar series, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinetech.com\/resources\/news-a-events\/events\/webinars\/webinar-series-a-to-z-to-achieving-hipaa-compliance\">A to Z to Achieving HIPAA Compliance<\/a>.
