On May 11 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced another extension of the timetable for the Mandatory Insurance Reporting (MIR) requirements under Section 111 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 for liability insurance (including self-insurance), no-fault insurance, and workers' compensation plans (non-GHP plans). The major changes were that the registration period, the testing period window, and live production file submissions were all extended by three months. The new implementation timetable for non-GHP responsible reporting entities (RREs) is now:

01/01/09-06/30/09 Recommended systems development period (no change).
05/01/09-09/30/09 Electronic registration of RREs (previously 5/1/09-6/30/09).
07/01/09 Query function available for test and production files (previously not announced).
01/01/10-03/31/10 Testing period for claim input file (previously 10/1/09-12/31/09).
04/01/10-06/30/10 Initial production claim input file submissions due (previously 1/1/10-3/31/10).
