If you are asking if the provider has the right to back to paper...the
answer is YES. They do not have to submit electronically. The payer must
be able to receive the transactions electronically if they currently
support a paper process but the provider has a choice.

Please respond
to
transactions
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
