The National Standards Group (NSG) of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is streaming a podcast episode called “Streamlining Health Care: The Essentials of Administrative Simplification. A Conversation with CMS NSG Director Michael Cimmino.”
The episode features conversations on Administrative Simplification and its impact on healthcare system burdens. Cimmino explains how the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) relates to Administrative Simplification, what NSG is doing to address administrative burdens, and what the development process for electronic healthcare transaction standards entails.
Part two of the topic, an episode on the enforcement of Administrative Simplification standards, will be coming soon.
