HIPAAMIPPATRHCAARRAPPACA EraConnecting the Health Care Legislation Dots
Wait… What?
A Legislation Smorgasbord • HIPAA– Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act
• MIPAA– Medicare Improvements for Patients & Providers Act
• TRHCA– Tax Relief & Health Care Act
• ARRA– American Recovery & Reinvestment Act
• PPACA– Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act
HIPAA• 1996
• In short, electronic transactions: 5010/ICD-10
• The “5010 Rules” requiring the changeover from 4010 to 5010 transactions and from ICD-9 to ICD-10, fall under the administrative simplification portion of HIPAA
MIPPA• 2008
• In short, Medicare ePrescribing Program
• Established the Medicare ePrescribing program that requires eligible professionals with prescriptive privileges to eRx permissible medications for Medicare Part B fee-for-service patients or suffer a payment adjustment
TRHCA• 2006
• In short, Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS)
• Established the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (now known as PQRS) to collect clinical data so that the government could define value and purchase value
ARRA• 2009
• In short, Meaningful Use of certified EHRs
• HITECH, which is 60 pages of ARRA, establishes the MU programs to accelerate and reward adoption of interoperable certified electronic health record technology
PPACA• 2010
• In short, defining and purchasing value for affordable care
• Seeks to reduce the number of uninsured Americans and make care affordable by defining value and purchasing value
What do they have in common?
• All of these pieces of legislation have an increased focus on process and technology
• The two major laws enacted under our current administration (ARRA and PPACA) accelerate transformation through the use of health IT
Is it time to retire?• Providers are utterly overwhelmed trying to
figure out what systems are impacted, how to align disparate dates of compliance, design roadmaps, or even figuring out how close to retirement they are
• It is nearly impossible to put all the pieces together and translate them into usable health IT workflows without a strong technology partner
