ICD-10 end-to-end testing week yields very good results
During the latest and third ICD-10 end-to-end testing week, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services accepted 90 percent of submitted claims.
The testing occurred from June 1 through June 5 during which 1,238 voluntary participants submitted more than 13,000 claims.
Of the rejected claims, CMS found the reasons for rejections were unrelated to ICD-10. For example, rejected claims errors include invalid national provider identifier, invalid beneficiary number, invalid or missing ZIP code or invalid Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System code.
