Agenda Information Management Claims Attachments Models Structures Human Decision Variant (HDV) vs. Computer Decision Variant (CDV) Standards: X12, HL7/CDA, LOINC Implementation Guides Additional Information Specification (AIS) Transactions Linkage Attachments Workflow Request for Additional Information Federal Register example IBM Information Integration Capabilities for Claims Attachments Implementation WebSphere DataStage TX Future Direction 2
Claims Attachments the road to adjudication automation and fast payment Additional information Payer receives a claim and needs more information Prescription for DME (e.g., wheelchair) Consent form signed by patient Rehabilitation Treatment Plan information X-rays (dental, spinal, etc.) Laboratory reports and/or results A mechanism to transmit clinical information in support of the administrative process Data content standardization will support claims adjudication automation More extensive collections of quality data will enhance medical management Fraud and Abuse prevention 3
Attachment Types Selected for HIPAA Recommendation 1. Ambulance 2. Emergency Department 3. Rehabilitative services 4. Lab results 5. Medications 6. Clinical notes 4
Attachment Models Unsolicited attachment sent with the claim Provider knows the attachment will be required e.g., consent form signed by patient Attachment sent to payer as response to a payer s request for additional information HIPAA Standard request for information 277 LOINC-codified request Attachment response 275 Non-structured, structured, codified LOINC matches answer to the question Entity to entity exchange of patient information 5
Unsolicited - electronic transmission from provider to payer 1 Request for payment by ASC X12N 837 & 275 / HL7 CDA attachment Provider Payer 2 Payment advice sent by ASC X12N 835 could be payment or denial 6
Solicited request - Electronic transmission between the provider & payer Request for payment by ASC X12N 837 1 Provider 3 Request for additional information by ASC X12N 277 Additional information by ASC X12N 275 / HL7 CDA 2 Payer 4 Payment advice sent by ASC X12N 835 could be payment or denial 7

Human Decision Variant (HDV) vs. Computer Decision Variant (CDV) Human Decision Matches the most prevalent workflow: a person reviewing the information to make a decision low-impact on health plans (easy to display using common tools) low-impact on providers (supports low-cost document preparation and fax-like use of existing paper or document images) Computer Decision Permits computer-assisted adjudication or autoadjudication Includes specifications for breaking data down into computer-accessible elements Includes LOINC codes to identify the questions Includes answer codes suitable to the question Processable in humandecision mode by health plans that have not adopted a computer decision approach Can be applied selectively, one attachment at a time 9
