Final answer:
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) includes regulations for electronic claim standards under HIPAA transaction standards, with the latest update effective December 28, 2015, ensuring compliance and patient privacy in electronic medical recordkeeping.
Step-by-step explanation:
The regulation that establishes claim standards for electronic filing requirements when a provider uses a computer with software to submit an electronic claim is part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA has implemented rules to manage healthcare costs while promoting the adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs).
Electronically submitted claims are regulated by Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) transactions standards, which were updated with the final rule on October 1, 2015, effective December 28, 2015. The transition to the current (2015) standards from the previous (2008) standards involves implementation rules that ensure compliance and protect patient privacy in the sharing of digital records among healthcare providers.
