Translation services are included in your investment with Surescripts. This means you can depend on us to translate as you move from one standard to the next. At some point after the new standard is established, we will start to charge for translations. Specific details are forthcoming, and our goal is to go out to the network early with our approach.

Surescripts is actively preparing for the NCPDP 2023 standards. Our goal is to have the Companion Guides available shortly after the final rule is published.
What will Surescripts expect to offer in a testing environment?
Surescripts has a full staging environment available for testing. We’re actively working on enhancing the testing tools within staging to bring more self-service capabilities to the market.
Where can we find test cases/test scripts once we are ready to test our code?
Surescripts will have test cases available shortly after the CMS issues its final rule. When you are aware of your development timeline, please inform your Surescripts Account Manager and we can ensure you receive the test cases along with our testing resources.
