CMS and its contractors will conduct three ICD-10-CM/PCS testing periods in November, March, and June, according to a recent MedLearn Matters (MM8858).
Additionally, CMS notes that although “submitters may test ICD-10 claims at any time through implementation, the ICD-10 testing weeks have been created to generate awareness and interest, and to instill confidence in the provider community that CMS and the MACs are ready and prepared for the ICD-10 implementation.”
