HIPAA: Code Correlations

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandated the standardization of internal (administrative) code sets and the use of standard service/procedure code sets for transactions. The Medi-Cal program is using a phased approach to convert its interim (local) codes to national values. To assist providers with this conversion, Medi-Cal has created correlation tables for the following code sets (implementation is based on dates of service as specified in the below documents):


CODE CORRELATION TABLES

Administrative Code Sets

Service/Procedure Code Sets

276/277 Claim Status Request and Response Transaction

835 Transactions
