Is there one final rule for health plans and providers?
Yes. The initial rule, known as the HIPAA Transaction and Code Set Final Rule, was published August 17, 2000 in the Federal Register and applies to all covered entities. The rule (CFR 160 and 162) can be accessed at http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs. Addenda to the Final Rule, adopting changes to the HIPAA Electronic Transactions and Code Set Standards, was published in the Federal Register on February 20, 2003. These addenda modified a number of the electronic transactions and code sets adopted as national standards under HIPAA. The addenda can be found at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/HIPAAGenInfo/. The modifications are published as Addenda to the ASC X12N Implementation Guides and are available through Washington Publishing Company at http://www.wpc-edi.com.
