About EHNAC

EHNAC is an independent, not-for-profit accrediting agency that provides independent peer evaluation of an organization's ability to perform at industry-established levels.

EHNAC's function is to promote administrative simplification and cost savings in the healthcare industry and to provide the healthcare transaction industry with an independent capability to develop industry standards, known as EHNAC Criteria. The mission of EHNAC is to promote standards, quality service, innovation, cooperation and open competition within the healthcare EDI industry:

• Establishes minimum criteria for industry self-regulation.
• Encourages firms in the industry to improve performance.
• Facilitates open market access and competition ("open access" referring to acceptance of transactions from any source or routing.)
• Fosters consistency in transmitted information.
• Enhances customer service and satisfaction. ("Customers" include providers, payers, intermediaries and third parties.)

The EHNAC Commission seeks to accredit entities that send or receive HIPAA regulated transactions, or that transport or process EDI transactions between two or more trading partners in the healthcare community. These entities include, but are not limited to, clearinghouses, transactions processors, value-added networks (VANs), payers, providers and provider management organizations. http://www.ehnac.org.
