1. If I understand this correctly, I need to file electronically to ALL insurance companies by Wednesday, 10/16/02. #1, there are times that I need to send notes, how do I do this electronically? #2, what if the insurance company doesn't accept electronic claims? #3, I am assuming that secondary insurance submission remains as a paper submission because the primary EOB has to be attached?
2. I do understand that I as a billing service do not have to file for a HIPAA extension but my clients need to if they haven't put together a compliance plan. Is this correct? So, if my client has a compliance plan in place they do not need to worry about an extension request?
3. My other problem that I have is that one of my clients doesn't feel that they need to even worry about HIPAA compliance - what do I need to tell them?
4. A billing service needs to have a compliance plan in place. Is this correct? If correct, do I just keep the plan in my office or do I need to send it somewhere?
I am sorry about the number of questions in this email but I am confused. Thanks!
