Earlier I said "...the only X12 syntax based work remaining within X12 itself is implementation guide (TR3) maintenance on HIPAA transactions - and only because use of X12 syntax is codified (and ossified) by law."
I have been corrected. While X12 as a standards organization is codified into the HIPAA law, there's no such requirement that the "covered" transactions themselves be expressed in the traditional X12 syntax. Does anyone know anything about the rumor that new development of HIPAA standards after 005010 will be done using CICA XML-based components and messages? William J.
