ICD-10

Welcome to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) ICD-10 Website

Here you will find resources and timelines to help providers, payers, and vendors prepare for the U.S. health care industry's upgrade to Version 5010 and transition to ICD-10.

1.  The compliance date for upgrading to Version 5010 standards for electronic health transactions was January 1, 2012.
2.  The transition to ICD-10 for medical diagnosis and inpatient procedure coding occurs on October 1, 2013.

Version 5010 Enforcement Discretionary Period

CMS announced that it would not initiate enforcement action with respect to any HIPAA covered entity non-compliant with the ASC X12 Version 5010 (Version 5010), NCPDP Telecom D.0 (NCPDP D.0) and NCPDP Medicaid Subrogation 3.0 (NCPDP 3.0) standards for 90 days following the compliance date.  The enforcement discretionary period began on January 1, 2012 and end on March 31, 2012.  View the complete statement and enforcement FAQs for more information.

Prepare now to Ensure a Smooth Transition—Don't Wait!

Preparing for Version 5010 and ICD-10, will take time.  Preparation will include potential updated software installation, staff training, changes to business operations and workflows, internal and external testing, reprinting of manuals and other materials.  

Version 5010 and ICD-10 require system and business changes throughout the health care industry. ICD-10 will affect coding for everyone covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), not just those who submit Medicare claims.  To learn more, view the FAQ fact sheets on transition basics for ICD-10 and Version 5010.
