HIPAA Transactions -- The Next Generations 26 September 2006 2 Today’s Session Objective: Provide information that allows impacted organizations to track and participate in future HIPAA transactions activities; thereby managing their futures Topics: Materials Used in HIPAA Transactions Processes for Creating Materials Status, Predictions, and Key Issues Obtaining Further Information Rensis Corporation 2006, Rensis Corporation David A. Feinberg, C.D.P. 206-617-1717 DAFeinberg@computer.org

HIPAA Transactions -- The Next Generations 26 September 2006 3 Caveats For clarity and simplicity, today’s discussion primarily illustrates the ANSI SDO processes of Accredited Standards Committee X12. Similar but differing processes also exist at other HIPAA SSO’s. The predictions contained in today’s presentation are solely those of the author and do not represent the views, official or unofficial, of anybody else.

New Versions of Current Txns. Some Key Issues HIPAA Transactions -- The Next Generations 26 September 2006 42 New Versions of Current Txns. Some Key Issues Should the participating organizations (X12, DSMO Steering Committee, NCVHS, OESS … CMS … DHHS) execute their portions of the HIPAA adoption process on a staggered schedule as groups of TR3’s are published, or wait until a complete suite (e.g.,005050, 005060) is again available?

New Versions of Current Txns. Some Key Issues HIPAA Transactions -- The Next Generations 26 September 2006 43 New Versions of Current Txns.

Should HIPAA adoption be done just because new transaction versions are simply necessary to comply with other federal regulations (e.g., NPI, e-prescribing, ICD-10-xx)? Can there ever be a pay-back for moving to new versions of current transactions? Rensis Corporation 2006, Rensis Corporation continued on next slide ... David A.
