Transactions/Code Sets Payer compliance

[Tricia Lobdell]

My areas of responsibility include a hospital, multi specialty physician practice, homecare/hospice, mental health, etc, etc. (quite a variety of the healthcare provider covered entities) --- my question is..... we receive payments from quite a number of health plans and other than a couple of the major payers (Medicare and one of our HMOs) we haven't really received any information on what their plans for compliance are..... have any other providers taken the initiative to contact their payers (if not all, at least the major ones) to get some "baseline" information from them?  On one hand, seems like a good idea, on the other seems like quite an undertaking and would the results be worth it?  Thanks for any opinion/ input Trish Lobdell HIPAA Coordinator The Monroe Clinic Wisconsin ============================================================= CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: ------------------------ This message and any included attachments are from The Monroe Clinic and are for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
