In a collaboration between the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), WEDI and CAQH CORE, the CMS National Standards Group will provide an overview of the HIPAA Standards Exceptions Request Process to allow organizations to request an exception from the use of a standard from the HHS Secretary to test a proposed modification to that standard.
Following the presentation, time will be allocated for Q&A, with questions submitted prior to the webinar. Please submit your questions during the webinar registration process.

CAQH CORE will provide an update of its 2020 Goals and priority initiatives to deliver administrative efficiency and value to the healthcare industry. Topics will include:

CAQH CORE, together with Cleveland Clinic and PriorAuthNow (PAN), is pleased to share initial findings highlighting the impact of greater prior authorization (PA) automation and workflow integration leveraging standards and operating rules at Cleveland Clinic. The Cleveland Clinic will share how the implementation of an integrated PA solution is improving the ability of staff to conduct PAs and creating a more efficient process.

Connectivity is essential for successful interoperability as it enables the transport of information to support data exchange. To address the industry’s need to align on a common set of communication protocols, CAQH CORE maintains a set of operating rules addressing connectivity and security of data exchange. CAQH CORE Participating Organizations are currently evaluating updates to the CAQH CORE Connectivity requirements to address existing and emerging standards and protocols to support the intersection of administrative and clinical data exchange.

On June 23, CAQH CORE staff will host a panel discussion featuring CAQH CORE Board members centered on key industry topics, including value-based payments, interoperability, and COVID-19.
