These specifications are known as the 'ANSI X12 Standards' and are available from any number of sources. (And depending on format, can be quite expensive). But your request is incomplete, because it does not specify the ANSI standard version. This will be a number such as "003040" or "004010." And once you get past that barrier, you have the question of the actual implementation. The ANSI standards for the '837 Health Care Claim or Encounter' define many, many segments for that transaction; however, trading partners generally agree to use only a subset of the ANSI standard; this subset is called the 'Implementation [Guide]" Unless you are trying to create some kind of 'generic' software, it is extremely unlikely that you would NOT require a specific Implementation. > I am also looking for output file with 837 elements. > I know this file is confidential in most cases. > In case if you have any sample data, please share with me. Any sample data would have to conform to the Implementation Guide; since we don't know that, nobody can supply any data. My best guess is that you are looking at the "HIPAA-mandated Implementations" (since almost nobody uses the older implementations anymore). If this is the case you can register at Washington Publishing Company at http://www.wpc-edi.com and surf thru the links until you find the X096A1, X097A1 or X098A1 implementations. These can be downloaded in PDF form at no charge. Or, depending on what you are actually doing here, my firm has some healthcare-EDI software tools which might be of use to you. For the '837' (X096A1 facility and X098A1 professional) we have a programmer's API which will parse those transaction sets and save each transmitted data element in a database, adding the necessary 'link' fields so you can re-create any individual claim from the inbound document. If you can describe what you are trying to do, you can contact us and we'll see if we have something which can help. On the testdata: We have a de-identifier utility for the '837' similar to the FREE deidentifier tool for the '835 Healthcare Claim/Payment Advice' dicument. You can download the '835' de-identifier tool at our web site: Tab to the "Tech Corner" page; near the bottom of that page is '835DID.EXE' (The '837' de-identifier tool is NOT available for download there.)
