When can we begin testing 5010 with you? (for each transaction 837P, 837I, 835, 270&271) Is 5010 testing required? When (what date) is 5010 transaction mandated? (for each transaction type 837P, 837I, 270) If we send a 5010 claim file (837) will we be able to get the 5010 remit back (835)? When will the 5010 remit (835) be available? Will 5010 testing be only for compliance or will it also test payer specific edits? Will we be getting reports back after testing 5010? Will you be ready to test and go live on 5010 across all transactions at the same time? (837, 835, 270&271) If not at the same time, what is the schedule? Are you planning to allow dual submissions of 4010 and 5010 at the same time or will it be a hard cutover only to 5010 claim submissions? Will there be any transmission/connection changes to how we technically send you are claims? Will there be any enrollment or re-enrollment required before submitting 5010? Will we be able to test the 270 and get 271 transaction back? How will you be communicating when you cutover or mandate the 5010 transaction? (website, letter, email, etc.) Will you be changing the length of any of the fields in the 835 (ERA) (policy #, check #, ICN) When we go live with 5010 will you be replacing the 997 report with the 999 report? Will there be any other changes to reports or new reports? Are you mandating with implementation of 5010 that the Billing Provider Address(2010AA N3) no longer be a PO Box and that it MUST be a street address? Will the providers need to complete re-enrollment if they are currently sending the PO Box and need to start sending the street address? Trading Partner Readiness Outreach
