# Electronic Transactions

HIPAA transactions are the electronic transfer of health care information for specific purposes. Under HIPAA, if a health care provider engages in one of the identified transactions, they must comply with the standards for that transaction. HIPAA requires every provider who does business electronically to use the same health care transactions, code sets, and identifiers.

The electronic transaction standards for the healthcare industry are specified by the ASC X12N Subcommittee of The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP). The NCPDP standard formats are used by retail pharmacies for drug claim transactions.
