Uniprise has put a contingency plan in place to assist covered entities to move towards compliance for the short-term.

Uniprise will:

• Continue to accept the HIPAA standard claim transactions.
• Temporarily accept NSF, UB92, or ASC/X12 final rule version formats (Institutional 004010X096 and Professional 004010X098) for existing submitters, until the submitter is able to create the standard format.
• Extend testing of standard transactions beyond October 2003 when requested by the submitter.
• Accept X12-syntactically correct standard transactions for processing.
• Accept standard transactions for processing using a reduced set of content edits.
• Reject transactions that cannot be completely adjudicated because of missing data content.
• Provide HIPAA edit error reporting of test data when requested.
• Provide technical assistance when requested.
• Send out only HIPAA standard electronic remittances.
• Paper claims are not preferred, and are at risk for delayed adjudication.
