HIPAA 270 Eligibility, Coverage or Benefit Inquiry
Management Systems Consulting, Inc.
VERSION: 1.0 DRAFT

Author: Skip Stein

Notes: In order to protect the security and confidentiality of electronic health information, Congress has passed The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, also known as HIPAA, which was the result of efforts by the Clinton Administration and congressional healthcare reform proponents to reform healthcare in a way that would streamline industry inefficiencies, reduce paperwork, make it easier to detect and prosecute fraud and abuse and enable workers of all professions to change jobs, even if they (or family members) had pre-existing medical conditions.
