On October 15, 2003: What do Centers have to do to comply with the Transactions requirements for HIPAA?
(A) If all of your HIPAA-required transactions are processed through Central Office processing, then IT and Financial Services will make the necessary changes to ensure that the transactions meet HIPAA requirements. However, for any transactions that a Center does that are HIPAA standardized transactions, the Center is responsible for making the necessary changes to comply with HIPAA. For this reason, it is important that the appropriate Center staff is familiar with the required HIPAA transactions and a gap analysis is completed for the Center. Central Office Administration has made available the “HIPAA Transactions and Code Sets Rule and SCDMH: Inventory/Planning” guide to assist with this gap analysis. A copy of this document can be printed from Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, refer to the Workgroup Reports for Transactions.
