Proposed National Standard
Employer Identifier Rule
National Standard Employer Identifier
Health Insurance Reform:
National Standard Employer Identifier
DHHS SUMMARY: This rule proposes a standard for a
national employer identifier and requirements concerning its
use by health plans, health care clearinghouses, and health
care providers. The health plans, health care clearinghouses,
and health care providers would use the identifier, among
other uses, in connection with certain electronic transactions.
The use of this identifier would improve the Medicare and
Medicaid programs, and other Federal health programs and private
health programs, and the effectiveness and efficiency of the
health care industry in general, by simplifying the administration
of the system and enabling the efficient electronic transmission
of certain health information. It would implement some of
the requirements of the Administrative Simplification subtitle
of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
of 1996.
