This requirement is not part of the Administrative Simplification Compliance Act. Each BCBS or Medicaid agency will be making its own decisions in this regard.
I can certainly envision the payers requiring their network providers to submit all claims according to the HIPAA standards as part of their provider contracting.

Unless there are special circumstances, or no means, etc. Is this same type of rule going to be applied to the Blue Cross/Blue Shields, or Medicaids?
