Medicare HETS 270/271 Submitters:

CMS previously announced that HETS 270/271 testing would begin at 10:00 PM ET tonight, November 12, 2010. Tonight's testing will actually begin at 6:00 PM ET. The HETS 270/271 application will be available during these testing periods, but submitters may notice higher than normal response times. CMS will closely monitor the impact of this testing on the HETS 270/271 application and will modify or terminate testing as necessary to ensure acceptable HETS performance.

Please contact the Help Desk if you have questions or comments.
