Compare HIPAA Electronic Standards

Want a sneak peek at how much changing to the new HIPAA 5010 electronic transaction standards will affect you? 

Visit the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) website, where you can get a side-by-side comparison of the current 4010A1 and the new 5010 standards.  

Just go to this page and scroll to the bottom for comparisons for health care providers, health care institutions, and more. 

Providers, insurers, and vendors must begin using the standards Jan. 1, 2012.
