ABOUT NYHART’S HIPAA RESOURCES SECTION
NYHART
is committed to complying with HIPAA.
EDI:
In
response to the HIPAA requirements for Administrative Simplification, Nyhart has
implemented EDI capabilities for processing version 4010 of the ANSI X12 standard
transaction sets.
Although
there is no official program for HIPAA certification, Nyhart has contracted with Claredi,
an independent testing and certification service, to validate the functionality and
integrity of our EDI standard transactions for HIPAA compliance in accordance with
WEDI/SNIP (The Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange/Strategic National Implementation
Process) testing and certification levels. To view Nyhart’s certification status,

Frequently
Asked Questions About Self-Funded Group Health Plan HIPAA Privacy Rules
|
Privacy:
The
Privacy Rules affect both Nyhart and our employers. Nyhart has implemented a variety of
measures to comply with these requirements in our roles of consultant and claims
administrator.
To
assist employers in their compliance efforts, we have provided a Question and Answer piece
and several sample forms. These forms are models. They should be modified as needed to
reflect the employer’s and plan’s actual practice, and you may wish to have them
reviewed by legal counsel.
Security:
We
are currently analyzing and documenting our existing procedures with respect to the
Security Rule, and expect to be in full compliance as of April 20, 2005.
