In an effort to help healthcare providers, payers, and vendors meet HIPAA 5010 and ICD-10, CMS has released detailed timeline widgets that are available for download for large providers, small providers, payers, and vendors. The widgets cover some of the essential activities that is needed to successfully make the transition to Version 5010 and ICD-10, as well as the estimated total duration needed.
It is important to note that every organization is unique, so these specific action items and duration included in the timeline widgets may not be completely applicable to your organization. For organizations who are already underway in their transition to Version 5010 and ICD-10, these timeline widgets can serve as great reference materials and as talking points with key stakeholders.
