What Is Module for HIPAA?
Module for HIPAA is a comprehensive and highly scalable solution that allows your organization to implement the HIPAA 5010 and 5010A standards. This webMethods component provides out-of-the-box functionality to validate all of the mandated HIPAA transactions as well as generate the appropriate acknowledgments. Module for HIPAA streamlines health care industry transactions by providing a solution for rapid and seamless integration of providers, payers, routers, and sponsors.
Note:
Module for HIPAA runs on top of webMethods Module for EDI. When you install Module for HIPAA, it changes the behavior of some of the functions of webMethods Module for EDI to meet HIPAA standards. As a result, you must override EDI ID qualifiers to use those IDs in Module for HIPAA (for example, in EDI the ID qualifier code 30 is "ISO 6523" but in HIPAA it is "Federal Tax ID"). For more information about adding and overriding EDI ID qualifiers, see the webMethods Module for EDI Installation and User’s Guide . If you plan to process both HIPAA-related and non-HIPAA related EDI documents, Software AG recommends that you set up the processing on different machines. If you prefer to use the same machine, be careful when setting up and testing to ensure that the processing for HIPAA and non-HIPAA related documents functions as anticipated.
