Re: Hi All, and putting detailed info on EOBs

[Jim Moores]

Hi All,     I apologize for the furor that my question has caused.  The question was perhaps not clear enough.   I was not trying to solicit input on the HIPAA Transactions.....  The question was asked strictly in light of the HIPAA Privacy Regulation - Minimum Necessary requirement.  We trying to determine if there is a group consensus / best practices trend on how much detail will be acceptable for Minimum Necessary on an EOB.     Again, I'm sorry for the furor, but if anyone has input to the question as it relates to PRIVACY - MINIMUM NECESSARY, I would welcome the input.   Jim   Jim Moores - HIPAA Team Leader - Privacy Antares Management Solutions 23700 Commerce Park Road Beachwood, Ohio   44122-5832   [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (216)292-1605 Fax:      (216)292-1619   >>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 05/31/02 03:24PM >>> I agree that the transaction code sets should help all of us.  My comments were not intended to be negative, just responsive to a question posed on the listserve about how deep explanations on EOBs should go.  My belief is, line item explanation is appropriate.  Physicians bill on a line item basis, and to increase efficiencies for all around, remittances and explanations for payment adjustments should also then be returned on a line item basis, otherwise, we have defeated the whole purpose of moving to standard transaction code sets, and trying to correct the chaos that now exists.
