Can provider and intermediaries/carriers begin using the Internet for sending and receiving Medicare claims and remittance advices? No. Although the policy does away with the restriction on use of the Internet it does not give organizations the authority to begin utilizing this media without obtaining full coordination and approval from all parties in the process, including HCFA. Implementation issues remain to be resolved, and allowances must be made for software and/or hardware upgrades or changes.
