  2. HIPAA 5010 • Project Status • Key Considerations/Timeline for 7/1/2012 • Next Steps

  3. Project Status • Wrapping up all 5010 changes per the previously stated timeline • Key Milestones for 7/1/2012 full compliance: • 11/1/2011 – Programming re-started and Freeze Period began • 1/2012 – Coding completes, start internal testing • 3/2012 – Begin UAT (external testing) • 6/2012 – Complete UAT • 7/1/2012 – Implementation in Production and Freeze Period ends

  4. Key Considerations/Timeline for 7/1/2012 • To accommodate necessary changes to the PMMIS databases the 2nd Encounter cycle for June will be cancelled and PMMIS will not be available during this conversion process beginning 6/30 up to a late as 7/4. • Last day that plans may submit 4010 and NCPDP non PAH format encounters for AHCCCS processing is 6/7/2012 (before 6:00pm) • If 4010 format encounters are received after 6/7/2012 they will be rejected upfront in validation

  5. Key Considerations/Timeline for 7/1/2012, cont. • Contractors must also complete all TI corrections to 4010 format encounters prior to 6/7/2012 • All Contractors are encouraged to complete their 5010 and NCPDP Encounter testing as soon as possible

  6. Next Steps • Post implementation support 30 to 60 days after 7/1 • Publish final Companion Documents for all Transactions

  7. ICD10 • Proposed CMS Implementation Date Change • Revised AHCCCS Project Timeline • AHCCCS Project Approach • CMS Site Visit • Next Steps
