Trading Partner Agreement & Process
HIPAA regulation specifically defines the "Trading Partner Agreement" as follows:
Trading partner agreement means an agreement related to the exchange of information in electronic transactions, whether the agreement is distinct or part of a larger agreement, between each party to the agreement. (For example, a trading partner agreement may specify, among other things, the duties and responsibilities of each party to the agreement in conducting a standard transaction.) [Part§ 160.103 Definitions.]
So this section is designed for those of you who are intending to send and receive electronic transactions, in HIPAA-specified ANSI-x12N standards. You will find the necessary processes and reference files to prepare the Trading Partner agreement.
