Providers and health plans preparing to comply with HIPAA's transactions and code sets rule can get a little help from the Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI) and the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH).
WEDI and CAQH recently developed a Web site to help ease provider confusion about the 2003 HIPAA-mandated changes in health plan-provider electronic interactions. "Designed as one common resource for providers and plans alike, the site gives providers the latest information on health plan transaction changes and equips health plans with simple tools to communicate these changes to providers," reads the site.
The groups, with input from health plans, system vendors, provider representatives, and health care/HIPAA industry experts, created two tools to help health plans communicate their implementation of the HIPAA X12N and NCPDP transaction changes to providers: the Transactions Testing and Implementation Schedule Template and the "Best Practice" Companion Guide Template.
