HIPAA 5010 Activity - Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) Certification Test Package Development
The certification test (CT) package will be used to ensure that MACs have implemented 5010 changes and other CMS required EDI enhancements as CMS has instructed. Participating MACs will team with the single test contractor (STC) to prepare the test scenarios, use cases
and data files that constitute the CT. This change request will capture the level of effort estimate for MAC participation in development of the CT package. The STC has determined the distribution of tasks and refined the deliverable specifications. The MAC is expected to participate in working meetings and to produce the deliverables as defined by STC.
