Will you still get paid after October 16?

HIPAA mandates that all organizations submitting electronic claims comply with the transactions rule as of October 16, 2003. Will your billing system be ready to submit electronic claims-the most important of the transactions revised by HIPAA?

When your organization submits claims, will you know whether the following new data are needed: The patient's country code? Provider taxonomy code? The patient's weight? Dates of similar illness?

Many claims submission software programs do not translate patient data into a format that will satisfy HIPAA. Still others-including some that claim to be HIPAA-compliant-don't even collect the necessary data to satisfy HIPAA.

If you don't satisfy HIPAA, your electronic claims won't get paid. And if you haven't collected all the necessary data, even a clearinghouse can't help you.

Don't be left scrambling to learn about HIPAA transactions after it's too late and payers have already choked off your cash flow to a trickle.
