Currently, CMS sends both HIPAA-compliant and non-HIPAA ERAs to trading partners. Ninety-nine percent of all ERA receivers (providers, clearinghouses, billing agencies, and others who receive ERAs on behalf of providers) are receiving the HIPAA-compliant ERA. The HIPAA transanction compliance rate for Medicare providers is 96%, according to CMS.
