Abstract: In its administration of the Medicare Modernization Act, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is a covered entity under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) rules. As a covered entity, CMS is required to verify at a high level of assurance all persons requesting access to CMS' computer systems. Under the Health Care Reform Bill HR 3590, known as the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" (PPACA), there are many provisions that require the secure ingress and egress of data from CMS. CMS has created the horizontal enterprise services programs to address those provisions. One of these programs is the Enterprise Identity Management (EIDM) system. Identity management is an important part of protecting the security of CMS' data by ensuring that individuals are who they claim to be. The EIDM solution will provide an enterprise-wide solution that will also support CMS' senior management goal to improve the Provider and Health Information Exchange experience by providing an enterprise-wide set of credentials and single sign-on capability for multiple CMS applications.
