CMS logs half-million applications for HIPAA deadline extension The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services today said it has received more than 500,000 applications for a one-year extension of the Oct. 15 deadline for complying with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act's transactions and code sets standards. HIPAA-covered entities, which include hospitals, that did not apply for the extension are expected to be in compliance with the transactions and code sets regulation as of today. On Oct. 15, CMS announced it would create a new office within the agency to handle HIPAA regulatory compliance. For more, go to <http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2002pres/20021015a.html>.

I think I was 00000000487 or something like that. Who is counting? Nice job for somebody's electoral district, huh? If they will allow an extension by simple application why not just move the date back for everyone? Administrative Simplification? I beg to differ.
