Hello - last week Axway participated at the HIMSS annual conference & exhibition in Chicago. In conjunction with the conference, we announced that our recently-formed partnership with Edifecs will provide integrated migration solutions for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) modifications recently disclosed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Additionally, these solutions will support companies with Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange’s (WEDI) Strategic National Implementation Process (SNIP) Type 1-7 testing, and provide validation and error reporting capabilities to trading partners.
The updated X12 standard Version 5010 is one of two final rules in the new HIPAA mandatesi to facilitate the U.S. transition to an electronic healthcare environment. It includes new guidelines for claims, eligibility inquiries, referral authorization, remittance advice and more. It adopts an updated version of the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) standard, and a standard for Medicaid pharmacy subrogation transactions.
