Does the law also require Medicare claims to be submitted electronically after October 2003?
HIPAA Administrative Compliance Act (ASCA) prohibits Health and Human Services (HHS) from paying Medicare claims that are not submitted electronically after October 16, 2003, unless the Secretary of HHS grants a waiver from this requirement. It further provides that the Secretary must grant such a waiver if there is no method available for the submission of claims in electronic form or if the entity submitting the claim is a small provider of services or supplies. Beneficiaries will also be able to continue to file paper claims if they need to file a claim on their own behalf. The Secretary may grant such a waiver in other circumstances. CMS will publish proposed regulations to implement this new authority.
