"On August 15, 2008, HHS released two proposed rules to adopt updated HIPAA standards; these rules are currently on display at the Federal Register and will be published on August 22, 2008.  In one proposal, HHS adopts X12 Version 5010 and NCPDP Version D.0 for the HIPAA transactions.  In this rule, HHS also proposes to adopt a new standard for Medicaid subrogation, for pharmacy claims, known as NCPDP Version 3.0.  In a separate proposed rule, HHS proposes to adopt the ICD-10 code set to replace the ICD-9 code sets in HIPAA transactions.  Version 5010 accommodates the ICD-10 code sets, and has an earlier compliance date than ICD-10 in order to ensure adequate testing time for the industry.  These two rules apply to HIPAA covered entities, including health plans, health care clearinghouses, and certain health care providers.  To view [pre-publication versions of] both proposed rules, see the links ... below."
