Daryl,
The TCS standard applies to electronic claims only.
Paper claims are not affected Because the payer's systems will have
to work with the data content of Complient claims, the paper claim will probably
have to be modified by each payer to contain the data they need. This
means business as usual (possibly different rules for each payer) for paper
claims.
The Privacy rules apply to all PHI if you are a CE, and the
Security rules apply to all electronic PHI if you are a CE.
.
Whether a payer is willing to accept paper claims at all
is up to them (except for Medicare, which is mandated by law to require all
electronic calims by Oct 16, 2003 [except for "Small" providers, via an
exception process yet to be defined]).
The opinions expressed here are my own and not necessarily the opinion of
LCMH.
