Why does Web interChange have so many extra fields that do not appear on my paper PA form?
The Web interChange PA submission pages are HIPAA 278 data content compliant. In order to be HIPAA compliant, we must give you the opportunity to enter all of these fields. However, you do not need to enter all the fields, just those that have an asterisk. When you submit your request, Web interChange will let you know if you have missed any required fields. Additional fields are also contained in the pop-up windows.
