requirements to protect the confidentiality of PHI. These regulations affect the
health care providers along with their staff and business associates.

Transactions and Code Sets. This part of the HIPAA mandate requires:
standardized codes and formats for the electronic transactions between
physicians and health plans. Except for physician practices with fewer than 10
full time employees, all physicians must submit their claims to Medicare in this
new, standard, electronic format.

National Employer Identifier. This part of HIPAA will standardize the way
employers are identified in electronic transactions. The employer’s FEIN
(Federal Employer Identification Number) program will serve as the basis for
assigning these unique ID numbers.
|
| SECURITY |
This part of HIPAA requires the establishment of procedures and mechanisms to
protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected
health information. Physicians must implement administrative, physical, and
technical safeguards for PHI that they collect, maintain, use, or transmit.
