SOUND OFF! TOPIC: Tell us how you are handling insurance companies that are not compliant with HIPAA’s ERA/EFT regulations. For those carriers that are noncompliant with the new regulations, we take the following steps: 1. Politely tell them they are in violation of the regulation and provide them with a copy of the regulation via fax or email. 2. Wait approximately four weeks, then call again to request era/eFT. 3. If they still remain noncompliant, at this point, we send a complaint to Cms – this has been very effective. – Theresa Wilson, CEO, Practice Synergy, LLC We speak with the carrier initially to identify why they are not compliant, and if there are plans to become compliant. If they have no intent to comply, then we are submitting a formal complaint to Cms. – Emily Osetek, CHBME, President, Sourcenet Medical Billing Associates, LLC next SOUND OFF!
