What are the deadlines for compliance with HIPAA Administrative Simplification?
The two deadlines enacted are for transactions and privacy. The transactions deadline is Oct 16, 2002. If you file a request for an extension by that date that includes an outline of your compliance plans, you may qualify for the October 2003 extension. The deadline for compliance with the Privacy regulations is April 14, 2003. HHS has yet to announce the rules and deadlines for the Security provisions.
