Ancient Chinese Secret from one who's been there: If you can handle multi-hierarchy 856 ASNs, the '837' (most complex of all the H/C transactions) is actually pretty much the same from a 'syntax/structure' perspective. But as I have said before here.. the true problems people have had implementing H/C EDI is lack of understanding of the underlying business transactions: - The 837 Claim/Encounter is *NOT* simply the "healthcare version of the 810/811 invoice" - The 835 Remittance is *NOT* simply the "healthcare version of the 820 remittance" - The '834' Benefits enrollment/maintenance is *NOT* simply the "healthcare version of the '816 Organizational Relationships' document." That is, being a whiz with the supply chain transactions does not automatically make you a whiz with the healthcare transactions. Amazing how many places I've seen this assumption.. and we all know how we have to spell out "assume", don't we? Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.
