I do not believe that is correct - if you are a covered entity health plan
you are required to be able to receive and respond to a 278. A health
plan cannot opt out of supporting any of the 9 transactions..
Only providers have the option of going to a paper based operation and not
having to comply with HIPAA transaction regulations.

Please respond
to "Meek, Janna"
My understanding is that a 278 response is only mandatory if you currently
have an electronic response for referral authorization. However, if you
are like most plans and have a paper response process, I don't believe you
your required to implemented the 278 response.

We implemented "278" to accept referral authorization. Does HIPAA
mandates that we should send "278" response. Please advice. Thanks.
