Are billing agents (billing services and clearinghouses) going to be validating their clients?
No, the provider must authorize the billing agents to submit claims on their behalf. This can be completed electronically in the portal. It is the provider’s responsibility to ensure that Business Associates Agreements are in place between their organization and their billing agents. The onus is on the provider to ensure that they comply with HIPAA Privacy requirements.
