The Transactions that these POS terminals will be supporting are HealthCare
transactions - 270/271, 277/275, 835, 837 etc...
Where can I find more information about the TCS rule?
Thanks,
Richard

I don't see these POS terminals being affected by HIPAA if in fact
they are doing a financial transaction...ie patient is making a
payment for services rendered(paying the co-pay with a credit card).
Now, there is a network of POS terminals that do eligibility checks
and referrals etc..these terminals are conducting transactions for
which a standard has been defined and are therefore subject to the
HIPAA TCS rule. The use of these POS terminals qualify the provider
as a Covered Entity which in turn makes the provider subject to the
Privacy and Security Rule.
Any other opinions or observations?
