As a trusted industry leader and in support of our commitment to compliance, Change Healthcare volunteered and was selected to participate in the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Administrative Simplification Optimization Program pilot. The program comprises a formal assessment by the Division of National Standards (DNS) within the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to review compliance with federally mandated transaction standards, code sets, unique identifiers, and operating rules.
Change Healthcare is one of the first organizations certified by the DNS demonstrating that our Medical, Hospital, and Dental Exchange batch and real-time services and solutions have been reviewed for compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Administrative Simplification regulations and Affordable Care Act (ACA) Operating Rule provisions.
Change Healthcare is a Maryland Healthcare Commission (MHCC) certified Electronic Health Network (EHN).
The Maryland Health Care Commission is an independent regulatory agency whose mission is to plan for health system needs, promote informed decision-making, increase accountability, and improve access in a rapidly changing health care environment by providing timely and accurate information on availability, cost, and quality of services to policy makers, purchasers, providers and the public.
The Maryland Health Care Commission certifies Electronic Healthcare Networks that meet national standards for security, business processes, technical performance, privacy and confidentiality when transmitting patient health information. As part of the evaluation process, MHCC reviews an EHN’s national accreditation site audit and recommends areas where enhancements would help reduce risks of exposure to data breaches.
Maryland Regulation 10.25.07, Certification of Electronic Health Networks and Medical Care Electronic Claims Clearinghouses, requires third party payors that accept electronic health care transactions originating in Maryland to accept electronic health care transactions only from MHCC certified EHNs. MHCC-EHN certification demonstrates that Change Healthcare meets a number of national and local standards intended to ensure high quality business operations and the existence of sound privacy and security policies. MHCC certification represents to other networks, payers, and providers that Change Healthcare meets a reasonable level of quality and technical performance.
MHCC requires that EHN’s complete the evaluation process every two years to maintain certification.
The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) is a private, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality by assessing and reporting on the quality of health-related programs. NCQA certification is a reliable indicator that an organization is well-managed and demonstrates the organization's commitment to meeting and maintaining industry developed quality standards.
NCQA's Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) Measure Certification is precise, automated testing that verifies compliance with HEDIS Specifications and satisfies the source code review portion of the HEDIS Compliance Audit™. Since its introduction in 1993, HEDIS has evolved to become the gold standard in managed care performance measurement. Change Healthcare has been providing certified HEDIS reporting solutions since 1997.
Change Healthcare's Quality Performance Advisor™ and Compliance Reporter™ solutions power a suite of web-based HEDIS offerings, including certified rate reporting and analytics, hybrid medical record reviews, and customizable reporting across measures, enabling health plans to effectively manage and optimize HEDIS processes, reporting, submission, and results.
NCQA's Physician and Hospital Directories certification validates quality measures for online solutions which help eligible individuals choose physicians and hospitals. Change Healthcare's Provider Directory solution has been NCQA Health Information Product Physician and Hospital Directories (HIP4) Certified in all measures. Change Healthcare's Provider Directory solution helps members easily search and compare doctors, specialists, hospitals, imaging centers and more in a user-friendly interface. Combined with our cost transparency solution, Provider Directory empowers members to take a more active role in their health, guiding them to make smarter decisions for healthier outcomes.

The steady increase in electronic payment options available makes it extremely important to protect customers’ personal information. You can learn more about the PCI DSS and the standards it requires at www.pcisecuritystandards.org/security_standards.
Change Healthcare abides by all applicable PCI DSS requirements under which we secure any and all cardholder data that we store, process or transmit for our customers. This notification is part of the certification process.
Keeping our customers’ information secure is a top priority for Change Healthcare. We dedicate extensive resources to make sure personal medical and financial information is secure and we strive to build a company culture that reinforces trust at every opportunity.
We appreciate your continued partnership. If you have any questions about the Change Healthcare PCI Compliance efforts or the measures we’re taking to keep your data safe, please contact your account representative or the Security Compliance Team.
