| Introduction
The DeCC is the deliberative body sponsored and chaired by the ADA that has been established in accordance with the administrative simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) to cooperate in the maintenance of the standards adopted under HIPAA. It has been named as a Designated Standards Maintenance Organization (DSMO) by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. As such, the DeCC addresses standard transaction content on behalf of the dental sector of the health care community.
Membership
DeCC membership is, by design, diverse
to ensure reasonable balance without
dominance by a single interest category.

agencies, third-party payer organizations,

of the committee. Current member organizations
are:
- American Dental Association
