A revised companion guide is now available for download on the ForwardHealth Portal for 270/271 Health Care Eligibility/Benefit Inquiry and Information Response (270/271) transactions. The revised companion guide will contain the information that Wisconsin will be returning on the 271 transaction as of April 11, 2014.
The companion guide changes were made in preparation of the April 11, 2014, implementation of the Affordable Care Act Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Operating Rules 154 and 260, which outline data content for 270/271 transactions.
The companion guides and the payer sheet provide ForwardHealth-specific information that should be used with the national HIPAA implementation guides. Implementation guides define the national data standards, electronic format, and values required for each data element within an electronic transaction.
