What is the “HIPAA” format and do I have to worry about it?
The HIPAA format is what we at Signature CLAIMS are asked to submit our claims to the various insurance companies in. You would think that this would be a “standard”, and that is not correct, as various insurance companies EACH have their own special way of interpreting the data. That is why there IS a Signature CLAIMS…so that you don’t have to worry about the various formats or updates, you just have to give Signature CLAIMS your claim data using the HCFA 1500 form format. WE DO THE REST…from converting your data to the proper format, to the transmission of your claims, TWICE A DAY to the insurance companies.
