December 2003
	The HIPAA Transactions and Code Sets Contingency Plan Memo, dated September 11, 2003, enabled current electronic submitters that had not completed TCS testing to continue submitting in the legacy format until December 1, 2003.
	Med-QUEST and ACS are aware that some providers and their software vendors require an extension beyond December 1st. If you are currently executing the contingency strategy (i.e., submitting claims and/or receiving Electronic Remittance Advice in the old format) and you have not contacted ACS to reschedule testing for the HIPAA-compliant transactions, please email the ACS EDI Team at hi.ecstest@acs-inc.com.
