We have relationships with many health plans for eligibility processing. One in particular has told us that their HIPAA consultants told them that they don’t need to worry about anything but the rosters they provide doctors/groups. They seem to think online eligibility ANSI requirements are nice but not something they have to worry about.
Can you tell me/give me the section of HIPAA doctrine that talks about this so I can share with them and make him aware of why they needs to pay attention to this topic? This is not an isolated occurance. Many healthplans I talk to do not feel the need to support the 270/271. Thanks for your help with this and your insights. Larry A.
