Final answer:

HIPAA does not require every provider who does business electronically to use the same codeset/identifiers.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the statement is false. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) mandates the use of standardized code sets and identifiers for electronic transactions in healthcare. These codesets and identifiers are used for purposes such as medical billing, insurance claims, and electronic health records.

However, HIPAA does not require every provider who does business electronically to use the same codeset/identifiers. Providers have some flexibility in choosing the specific codesets that best suit their practices and specialties.
