Ncpdp HIPAA Standards Implementation Timelines

Entities such as health care providers, health plans, health care clearinghouses as well as business associates such as Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and vendors that support all of these entities need adequate time to modify business processes, develop and test system and software changes for implementation of the NCPDP HIPAA-named standards. The NCPDP SNIP Committee developed this White Paper as guidance to the pharmacy industry in preparing for the implementation of versioning changes to the HIPAA-named standards and to newly-named NCPDP HIPAA standards.
