Amanda,
As we have interpreted the regulations - the provider has a choice they may use paper or electronic submission. We don't believe it matters what they did in the past.

Subject: Once electronic, always electronic?
I hope this is the appropriate group with whom we would share a lingering question. One of our assessment working groups has an ongoing debate on whether providers have a choice in their claims-submission method. We have two groups who interpret the regs two ways and one group that maintains this isn't specifically addressed in the regs at all. Our question is:
Once a provider has submitted a transaction electronically to a payer, does the provider always have to send that transaction electronically?
We gratefully appreciate anyone's answer or thoughts on this question.
Regards,
Amanda
