I have a question about the relationship between HIPAA and NCPDP 5.1. I have been told 
that NCPDP 5.1 is the appropriate transaction to use for pharmacy claims/reversals, 
etc. which are compliant with the HIPAA Standards for Electronic Transactions as 
specified in the Federal Register (DHHS, August 17, 2000). Is that correct? If so, can 
someone point me to the part of the Federal Register that names NCPDP as the standard 
for electronic transactions? I can only find references in the Federal Register to 
transaction standards such as 837 (which obviously overlaps NCPDP 5.1).
