HIPAA 5010 is rapidly approaching, changing the way you file claims, check insurance eligibility and receive remittances. HIPAA requires the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to adopt standards that health plans, health care clearinghouses, and health care providers must use when electronically conducting certain health care administrative transactions

Over 99 percent of Medicare Part A claims and over 96 percent of Medicare Part B claims transactions are received electronically. The current versions of the standards, ASC X12 Version 4010/4010A1 for health care transactions and the NCPDP Version 5.1 for pharmacy transactions, used in these health care transactions lack certain functionality required by the health care industry.
