Executive Summary

Delay in Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act electronic standards' October 2002 compliance date is unlikely to pass Congress, HHS Secretary Thomspon said Sept. 27 at a National Association of Manufacturers meeting. The Senate Finance Committee is seeking a one-year delay in transaction and code set implementation only, but any delay is opposed by Sen. Kennedy (D-Mass.) because it may also push back privacy regs. A March bill to replace the privacy rule (HR 1215), introduced by Rep. Greenwood (R-Penn.), has been referred to the House Judiciary/Crime Subcommittee
