NOTE: Entities acting in the role of a Business Associate of a HIPAA covered entity may also need to implement various aspects of the CAQH CORE Health Care Claim Operating Rules. The HHS website provides charts to help organizations determine whether an organization or individual is a HIPAA covered entity. Currently the CAQH CORE Health Care Claims Operating Rule is voluntary and has not been adopted by HHS for mandatory adoption by HIPAA covered entities. HHS will determine if the CAQH CORE Health Care Claim Operating Rule will be included in any regulatory mandates. While the CAQH CORE Health Care Claim Operating Rules are currently voluntary, stakeholder entities are immediately eligible to implement the operating rules and to pursue CORE Certification.
