On March 24, 2026, CMS issued a final rule establishing the first-ever HIPAA standards for electronic health care claims attachments—marking a major shift away from fax and mail-based submissions. Effective May 26, 2026, organizations must begin transitioning toward standardized electronic documentation using HL7-based formats, with full compliance required by May 2028.

This change directly impacts how providers submit clinical documentation to support claims. Organizations that continue relying on manual or non-standard processes may face claim rejections, payment delays, and increased audit exposure.

This session will break down the rules’ requirements, timelines, and operational implications while providing practical guidance to help revenue cycle and HIM teams prepare their systems, workflows, and compliance strategies.
