HIPAA Solutions
HIPAA Solutions Overview
In 1996 the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was signed into law to provide for greater portability of health benefits and better accountability and fraud prevention measures for patient records. This law contained many requirements and components for insurance companies, health care providers, administrators, etc. One of the components of this law was the Administrative Simplification provisions which created a new electronic reporting requirement for parties involved in the communications of health related records.
The Administrative Simplification provision of HIPAA requires the utilization of EDI as the standard for the exchange of health care related messages. This provides a common standard for documents that all parties involved in the health care process may follow.
The ANSI X12 transaction sets that are part of the HIPAA EDI requirements are:
- 270 : EDI Health Care Eligibility/Benefit Inquiry
- 271 : EDI Health Care Eligibility/Benefit Response
- 276 : EDI Health Care Claim Status Request
- 277 : EDI Health Care Claim Status Notification
- 278 : EDI Health Care Service Review Information
- 820 : EDI Payroll Deducted and other group Premium Payment for Insurance Products
- 834 : EDI Benefit Enrollment and Maintenance Set
- 835 : EDI Health Care Claim Payment/Advice Transaction Set
- 837 : EDI Health Care Claim Transaction set
- 997 : EDI Functional Acknowledgment Transaction Set
