The Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) has issued a revised timetable for Section 111 reporting deadlines. All non-GHPs now have until September 30, 2009 to register as Responsible Reporting Entities (RRE). The test submission period for claim input files by non-GHPs will run from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. Finally, all RREs must submit their first live production file no later than their assigned submission window during the April-June calendar quarter of 2010.

RREs who have completed registration and are in testing status will be able to use the Query function as of July 1, 2009 to determine Medicare beneficiaries. CMS has also changed the threshold for reporting a total payment obligation to claimant (TPOC). RREs will no longer be required to report any TOPC amounts with dates prior to January 1, 2010.
