Rachel:

When you say "the scope of this effort should not be limited to the
HIPAA transactions, but serve all of health care," what do you mean?

For example, even though the NCPDP retail pharmacy transaction is a
HIPAA standard transaction, we haven't discussed it much.  Can somebody
enlighten us on how it is currently used? Are Clearinghouses involved?
Can a pharmacy be treated like any other provider?  How are NCPDP
transactions packaged and identified?

And there are certainly other X12 administrative and financial health
care transactions that - while not HIPAA standard - will certainly be
usable within our framework, e.g, the claims attachment.

But were you thinking more broadly?  Are you suggesting that we support
HL7 clinical data, aside from the HIPAA claims attachment?  Or Property
and Casualty or Worker's compensation X12N transactions?

Or were you thinking of the supply chain side of Health Care?

If this group starts delving into the data of the various HIPAA
transactions I fear it will most certainly veer off track big time. This
effort is/should be substantially above the business data level and be
dealing with message addressing and various transport methods that may
be supported/required by a trading partner.

Furthermore, the scope of this effort should not be limited to the HIPAA
transactions, but serve all of health care.

> Developing a requirements document....how novel!


Slightly off this topic..?

Do we need to have separate work teams for "registry data elements by
[business?] transaction?"

If so, I can help with 270/271 Eligibility Request/Response pair.

I know the '835 Health Care Remittance' pretty well: see
http://www.providerpaymentpartner.com for a product to process the 835;
but about the only thing Sally Provider would need to know about a
payer's remittance capability is, "ANSI Remittance Available Yes or
No?".

(Unless, of course, Sally is going to set up Ole Doc Smith's office in
the registry to help all those payers route 835s to her..)
