CMS issued Transmittal 8, which I previously posted on my Blog. CMS has now issued Transmittal 9, which contains NO NEW Policy, but is to “clean up” T.8. HFS is approved for T.8/9, but cannot release it until CMS finalizes T.9 (not expected prior to 3/12/2010). T.8/9 must be used for FYE 10/1/2009 and after. This will be our Version 9.0.119.0, and there will not be a “version 8″. We use the current CMS Transmittal number for our Version number. Once T.9 is finalized, it will be available via a normal Check for Updates.
