The transaction and code set final rule explicitly excludes Property and Casualty insurance carriers from the HIPAA mandates. However, the 837 Professional implementation guide specifically speaks to Property and casualty claims as well as procedures directly related to automobile insurance. For example, spinal manipulation. Is the final rule in direct conflict with the 837P IGs? If so, what takes precedent? Another issue that we are concerned with is the sending and receiving of claims. If we receive a paper HCFA/UB92, DDE the claim into our system, can we send it out in the X12 4010 and be HIPAA compliant? What happens if we receive the claim electronically and drop it to paper, can we send this out and be HIPAA compliant? I know the regulation speaks to the difference between content verses format. Has there been any discussion on this? Any workgroups or white papers on this issue? Thank you for your time.
