Change Request (CR) 8983 deals with regular update in Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CA QH) Committee on Operating Rules for Information Exchange (CORE) defined code combinations per Operating Rule 360 - Uniform Use of CARCs and RARCs (835) Rule. CAQH CORE will publish the next version of the Code Combination List on or about February 1, 2015, and CR8983 instructs the MACs to use that list as of April 1, 2015. This update is based on November 1, 2014, CARC and RARC updates as posted at the Washington Publishing Company (WPC) website.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) adopted the Phase III CAQH CORE Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) Operating Rule Set that must be implemented by January 1, 2014, under the Affordable Care Act. The
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) amended the Social Security Act by adding Part C-Administrative Simplification - to Title XI of the Act, requiring the Secretary of the Department of HHS (the Secretary) to adopt standards for certain transactions to enable health information to be exchanged more efficiently and to achieve greater uniformity in the transmission of health information.
Through the Affordable Care Act, Congress sought to promote implementation of electronic transactions and achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvements by creating more uniformity in the implementation of standard transactions. This was done by mandating the adoption of a set of operating rules for each of the HIPAA transactions. The Affordable Care Act defines operating rules and specifies the role of operating rules in relation to the standards.
Note: Per Affordable Care Act mandate, all health plans, including Medicare, must comply with CORE 360 Uniform Use of CARCs and RARCs (835) rule or CORE developed maximum set of CARC/RARC/Group Code for a minimum set of four Business Scenarios. Medicare can use any code combination if the business scenario is not one of the four CORE defined Business Scenarios but for the four CORE defined business scenarios, Medicare must use the code combinations from the lists published by CAQH CORE.
