ICD-10 CM cannot be submitted for payment until visit date OCt 1 and forward. At that time it is required that all HIPAA entities accept and use the ICD-10 Cm codes, however if the visit date is prior to Oct 1 you will still use ICD-9 CM codes. BCBS cannot accept ICD-10 CM codes in June for reimbursement. However they are probably set to go with testing in June..

Thank you! That is what I meant for testing 
how will we know which carriers are going to be ready at which date (for testing only)?

Not a problem but it will be for testing purposes and you will see notices like this from other carriers as well. It is wise to test this prior to OCt 1 and the payers are aware of this.

Some will post notices, some will only notify the clearing house. It is best to check with each one you work with.
