HIPAA Accredited Standards
Committee X12 270/271 health care
eligibility inquiries (270) and responses
(271) on a real-time basis. HETS allows
health care providers or their designees
to check Medicare beneficiary eligibility
data in real-time. They use HETS to
prepare accurate Medicare claims,
determine beneficiary liability, or check
eligibility for specific services. HETS
allows users to submit HIPAA
compliant 270 eligibility request over a
secure connection and receive 271
responses in real-time. In creating the
HETS system, Federal law requires that
CMS take precautions to minimize the
security risk to Federal information
systems. Accordingly, CMS requires that
trading partners who wish to connect to
the HETS 270/271 system via the CMS
Extranet and/or internet to agree to the
HETS Rules of Behavior and the HETS
Authorized Representative Roles and
Responsibilities terms as a condition of
receiving Medicare eligibility
information. Applicants complete the
entire Trading Partner Agreement form
to indicate agreement with CMS trading
partner terms and provide sufficient
information to establish connectivity to
the service and assure that those entities
that access the Medicare eligibility
information are aware of applicable
provisions and penalties for the misuse
of information.
CMS uses the Trading Partner
Agreement Form to capture certain
information whereby a person certifies
that they are fully aware of all penalties
related to the use of PHI and their access
to this data from the HETS application.
The information is an attestation by the
authorized representative of an entity
that wishes to access the Medicare
eligibility information to conduct realtime eligibility transactions. The
authorized representative is a person
responsible for business decisions on
behalf of the Organization who is
submitting the access request. The data
captured includes the authorized
representative’s name, title contact
number and the name of the submitting
entity. Other data captured is the
submitter’s National Provider Identifier,
business name, billing address, physical
address, and telephone number.
The Trading Partner Agreement Form
is also used by CMS to capture certain
information whereby a person identifies
the particular connectivity protocol that
they will use to connect to CMS and
specific organization information which
is reviewed and authorized prior to the
access being granted. Form Number:
