RE: HL7 Standards

[David Frenkel]

Thennarasu, Have you looked at the HL7 website (www.hl7.org)?  There is a lot of HIPAA related info there.  The only HL7 document slated to be a HIPAA transaction is the 275 claims attachement which is still yet to be finalized.   Regards,   David Frenkel Business Development GEFEG USA Global Leader in Ecommerce Tools www.gefeg.com 425-260-5030 -----Original Message----- From: Thenn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 11:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: HL7 Standards     Just we got into HIPAA/EDI development. I have a basic question. While we develop HIPAA transactions, we also want to HL7 transactions with one of our trading partners.   My question is, Should any HL7 transactions that we do with our trading partners be covered under HIPAA even it becomes effective?   As per HIPAA final rule, only X12 and NCPDP transactions are considered as HIPAA transactions.What about privacy rule? Will it be also applied for HL7 transactions?   Thanks, Thennarasu S. 707.863.4221     ********************************************************************** To be removed from this list, go to: http://snip.wedi.org/unsubscribe.cfm?list=ivacy and enter your email address.
