HIPAA Standards The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is underway with implementation activities to convert from Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 version 4010A1 to ASC X12 version 5010 and National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) version 5.1 to NCPDP version D.0. The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has adopted ASC X12 version 5010 and NCPDP version D.0 as the next HIPAA standard for HIPAA covered transactions. The final rule was published on January 16, 2009. Some of the important dates in the implementation process are:
Effective Date of the regulation: March 17, 2009
Level I Compliance by: December 31, 2010
Level II Compliance by: December 31, 2011
All covered entities have to be fully compliant on: January 1, 2012
Level I compliance means "that a covered entity can demonstrably create and receive compliant transactions, resulting from the compliance of all design/build activities and internal testing." Level II compliance means "that a covered entity has completed end-to-end testing with each of its trading partners, and is able to operate in production mode with the new versions of the standards." HHS permits dual use of existing standards (4010A1 and 5.1) and the new standards (5010 and D.0) from the March 17, 2009, effective date until the January 1, 2012 compliance date to facilitate testing subject to trading partner agreement. The CMS Medicare Fee-for-Service schedule is:
Level I April 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010
Level II January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011
Fully compliant on January 1, 2012 CMS has prepared a comparison of the current X12 HIPAA EDI standards (Version 4010/4010A1) with Version 5010 and the NCPDP EDI standards Version 5.1 to D.0. The 4010A1 Implementation Guides and the 5010 Technical Report 3 (TR3) documents served as reference materials during the preparation of the comparison excel spreadsheets.

The TR3 documents can be obtained at http://store.x12.org/ CMS is making the side-by-side comparison documents available to interested parties without guarantee and without cost. The documents are available for download in both Microsoft Excel and PDF formats. The comparisons were performed for Medicare Fee-for-Service business use and while they may serve other uses, CMS does not offer to maintain for purposes other than Medicare Fee-for-Service. Maintenance will be performed without notification, as needed to support Medicare Fee-for-Service.
