The Importance of April 16, 2003: Where You Should be in HIPAA Data Code Sets/Transactions Testing and Compliance Presented by: Steven S. Lazarus, PhD, FHIMSS Boundary Information Group, President Train for Compliance, Inc., Vice Chair Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI), Past Chair

Boundary Information Group Virtual consortium of health care information systems consulting firms founded in 1995 Company website: www.boundary.net BIG HIPAA Resources: www.hipaainfo.net Senior Consultants with HIPAA leadership experience since 1992; administrative and clinical system experience Services include: Strategic planning Systems selection and implementation management Workflow improvement EMR, clinical and financial IS selection and operating improvement HIPAA policies, procedures, and forms Expert witness

Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange Nonprofit Trade Association, founded 1991 190 organizational members Consumers, Government, Mixed Payer/Providers, Payers, Providers, Standards Organizations, Vendors Named in 1996 HIPAA Legislation as an Advisor to the Secretary of DHHS Website: www.wedi.org Strategic National Implementation Process (SNIP) – snip.wedi.org WEDI Foundation formed in 2001 Steven Lazarus, WEDI Past Chair and Foundation Trustee

Where Should We Be Today? Testing (ASCA Compliance) Internal vs. External Testing not specified by Congress CMS Implied Internal Testing Testing (Operations) Need to achieve external testing with first trading partner as soon as possible (external testing) Why? The big bang approach will not work (WEDI SNIP) There are many steps to testing

Where is the Industry? No one knows Delay in publishing the Transactions Addendum until February 2003 resulted in many patient accounting vendors not shipping the 4010A1 upgrade until March – April 2003, or in customers ordering the upgrade from their vendors

Where are the Health Plans? WEDI and CAQH publish health plan transactions test and production data on one, free Web site www.wedi.org/snip/caqhimptools Transaction Implementation Timeline Companion Guide Template WEDI – Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange CAQH – Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare

Where are the Health Plans?

Transaction Implementation Timeline Health plans can: Post their timelines for testing and implementation So… Providers/clearinghouses can: View timelines for multiple plans, on one site, for free of charge Result: Timeline supports planning and coordination of testing schedules for providers/clearinghouses

Companion Guide Template The Companion Guide is a supplement to the X12N Implementation Guide used to reflect a payer’s selected options and data requirements for HIPAA-AS transactions Section 1 (General Information): Relates information that applies to all transactions Section 2 (Transactions-Specific Information) : Uses a table that can be used for each transaction Appendix: Includes FAQ, Checklists, Examples and may vary by payer

Level of Participation Currently, 25 Health Plan Products for X12N and 3 for NCPDP

Observations Many large health plans and providers have implemented upgrades and are testing with a few trading partners Many providers have underestimated the resources needed to be ready on time Started late Viewed this as an EDI project But it can include: Data capture information systems applications Data capture documents Interfaces to the billing applications Training Workflow analysis and improvement

Observations Many health plans have not reported their transaction schedule Many CEs are focused only on claims Payer DDE “exception” solutions do not help large providers

Action Steps Allocate resources Test/certify with a third party to shorten the testing cycle Re-examine the benefits of the transactions (www.hipaainfo.net) Determine and implement strategic objectives relating to the benefits of standard transactions and code sets WEDI and NCVHS are considering the issue of industry readiness
