If I submit or process a transaction with an ICD-9 code for a date of service after October 1, 2014, am I HIPAA compliant? Print

The date of service determines the compliant code format to be used in a claim regardless of the date the claim is filed or submitted. Providers will submit claims after October 1, 2014 with ICD-9 codes when the services were performed prior to October 1, 2014. Payers will process claims if received after October 1, 2014 with ICD-9 codes when the services were performed prior to October 1, 2014. This situation is HIPAA compliant.
