WEDI Transactions Addenda PAG, June 11, Chicago
WEDI is conducting a Policy Advisory Group (PAG) forum to review the NPRMs on adopting the addenda to the HIPAA implementation guides, developed by the DSMOs and the retraction of the NDC Codes as the standard codes for drugs. The PAG will be held on June 11, 2002 at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Chicago. You can register by visiting the "What's New" section of the WEDI website at www.wedi.org. This PAG forum on the Addendas is particularly important to you and your organization, and will address the issues and concerns many of you have raised in recent months regarding these proposed modifications to the Transaction standards. The Forum is open to all interested organizations and individuals impacted by the HIPAA '96 Administrative Simplification rules. Our purpose will be to review the proposed NPRMs, focusing on specific issues and concerns being raised by WEDI members and industry representatives. The PAG co-chairs will have conducted a thorough review of the NPRMs, comparing and contrasting the language therein with the current Final Rule and concentrating on selected issues which are generating the most commentary and concern. The WEDI Board of Directors will utilize the PAG recommendations to formulate its comments as Advisor to HHS on HIPAA and as input to WEDI SNIP and its industry HIPAA implementation role. The fee for the one day PAG is $175 for WEDI Members and $250 for Nonmembers.
