Pennsylvania HIPAA Certification Process

Introduction

Pennsyvania's MA HIPAA Certification Process requires that both software vendors and provider agencies go through the certification process. One good reason for this is the fact that setup information specific to each provider agency must be correctly entered into the electronic claim software before it can successfully submit claim forms. It is strongly recommended that each provider agency that has not registered for certification do this as soon as possible.
