Title: Secondary Claims and Privacy

Is there any requirement for CEs to mark through the PHI on a paper remittance document that does not pertain to the patient when submitting claim + remittance for secondary payment for this patient? 

or

If a CE decides not to mark through the information not pertaining to a patient then in essence is the other patient information being used for something other then TPO and needs to be tracked?  Since no payment is being requested, and the patients are probably not an insured for the payer.  Or is this incidental exposure and falls between the gaps.

I understand that many CEs already do mark through the other patient information, but with HIPAA would this now be considered a requirement?

Hopefully, the above issue will no longer be a requirement when CEs do the transactions and codes sets, but for the time being it still needs to be addressed.

Thanks,
Mike
