The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Electronic Transactions, Code Sets and Identifiers (TCSI) Program within the Information Management (IM) division of TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) provides overall program management and coordination for the implementation of HIPAA electronic standards.
