An ICD-10 testing week CMS previously scheduled for July 21-25 has been canceled as a result of ICD-10’s one-year implementation delay.
 
CMS’ planned testing week was supposed to give a sample group of providers a chance to participate in end-to-end testing with Medicare administrative contractors and the Common Electronic Data Interchange contractor. Instead, opportunities for end-to-end testing will be available in 2015, CMS announced in a May 2 release.
 
ICD-10 is now slated to roll out Oct. 1, 2015.
