What is the difference between the MN Uniform Companion Guides and the AUC Best Practices documents?
The MN Uniform Companion Guides are intended to serve as companion documents to the corresponding HIPAA Implementation Guides. The MN Uniform Companion Guides which reflect the new uniform billing and coding standards for all licensed MN group purchasers and MN health care providers are required by Minnesota law. Best Practices documents are intended to reduce variation and encourage further industry administrative simplification. Best Practices documents are not under the force of Minnesota law, but may be proposed to be included in future revisions of the MN Uniform Companion Guides.
