Mahindra Satyam solutions

Mahindra Satyam has developed integrated migration solutions for healthcare payer organisations that would meet the new federal (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) HIPAA rules.

An upgraded X12 Version 5010 transaction standard has been mandated for implementation by January 1, 2012, requiring application engineering to support future nationwide electronic healthcare interchange initiatives for the healthcare industry in the US.

“Mahindra Satyam is well-positioned to capture the opportunities from recent reforms in the US healthcare sector. The company has made investments in developing specialised skills, competencies and expanding its alliances to effectively meet customer needs in the payer segment,” Vivek Ghai, head of healthcare and life sciences, Mahindra Satyam, said. The company has developed a comprehensive ‘three step implementation methodology’ for successful and timely HIPAA 5010 compliance enabling healthcare enterprises to cost-effectively migrate from 4010A to 5010 transaction standards.

Mahindra Satyam has already started deploying the solution through its latest win of a multi-million dollar deal with a large health Insurer for re-engineering the electronic transaction system and upgrading the applications to make it HIPAA 5010 compliant.
