​PROMISeTM Companion Guides

Companion guides are developed to communicate the Pennsylvania Medical Assistance-specific information required to successfully submit healthcare transactions. They usually contain the department interpretation and application of the data elements and how to convey the data for department transactions. Companion guides are to be used in conjunction with the CMS HIPAA Implementation Guide found at the CMS website. The CMS HIPAA Implementation Guide is the main source of information about the transaction sets.

Below are links that will guide you to the companion guides available for use with PROMISe™.
