HIPAA Transactions

The latest House bill also includes a provision to establish national standards for electronic claims submission and other HIPAA transactions.

* Enable real-time claims adjudication;

* Harmonize data sets from administrative and clinical transactions; and

* Support machine-readable identification cards.
