For several years AAHAM has come to the Hill to make requests to our elected officials related to HIPAA Electronic Transactions and Administrative Simplification.

We are extremely pleased that our issues are included in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which the President signed into law on March 23, 2010. However, our concern is the length of time that will occur before the regulations become effective coupled with the length of time these issues have already been delayed which has cost our health system billions of wasted dollars. Based on research conducted by the Healthcare Efficiency Index, these items could reduce healthcare costs by as much as $30 billion a year.
