Examples

“Because there is no HIPAA requirement that insurance companies also accept⟳ DSM-IV-TR codes, insurance companies are likely to only accept⟳ electronic claims that use⟳ ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes, and which will require⟳ psychologists who are only familiar with DSM-IV-TR to convert their DSM-IVTR diagnosis codes into ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes.”
“However, several health privacy and ethics experts CNN consulted questioned whether Conley is bound by HIPAA rules, which apply⟳ only to providers who accept⟳ health insurance.”
