Ah, I see now. A covered entity can submit non-standard transactions to a clearinghouse, but they still need to store their data in standard formats. That makes sense, so I'll go with option D.

The key here is to focus on the specific details of the transaction standards. I remember that covered entities can use a clearinghouse to convert non-standard transactions, but they still need to store their data in standard formats. So I think the correct answer is D.

Okay, let's see. I remember that ERISA plans are exempt, so B is not correct. And the data stored by a covered entity needs to meet the standards if they are directly submitting transactions, so C is correct. I'll go with C.

Ha! Option E is clearly a trick question. Of course state Medicaid programs need to meet the same requirements as private health plans. They're not some special snowflake.
