title: Leveraging the cost of HIPPA..
abstract: HIPAA's administrative simplification rule was introduced to reduce the costs of handling provider-payer transactions by standardizing them. The transaction rules are predicted to save billions of dollars. To get the biggest payoff, providers will need to overhaul their business processes as part of electronic transaction processing. By eliminating redundant and inefficient administrative processes, staff time can be focused on processes that improve financial performance and customer satisfaction. If your organization needs to have an extension beyond the original compliance date, you must file a plan before Oct. 16 to show how you'll come into compliance by Oct. 16, 2003. Check the roadmap and timetable for HIPAA compliance and see where your organization is and where it needs to be.
