title: Making your ICD-10 testing count.
abstract: Appropriate planning and testing are crucial to organizations' chances of making a smooth changeover to ICD-10, which is scheduled to go into effect Oct. 1, 2015. Setbacks during the transition in 2012 from the old version of the HIPAA standard transactions (version 4010) to the new version (5010) offer lessons for the ICD-10 preparation period. Organizations should make a point of devoting adequate resources to ICD-10 testing, working with large payers and using genuine medical data, and efficiently applying what they learn during the testing period.
