Rachel: Thanks for clarifying what you mean by "all of health care." We now know you certainly did not mean NCPDP, HL7 or Healthcare supply-chain.
If I hear you correctly, I think you're saying we should accommodate the non-HIPAA (or yet to be HIPAA) X12N administrative transactions (like the 277/275 claims attachment and the 269 "COB"), in addition to the "final" HIPAA X12 transactions, in the recommendations we will develop for solving whatever problem we haven't determined yet. I would fully and enthusiastically concur. William J. Kammerer Novannet, LLC.

I'm not at all suggesting that this group move into the supply chain sector of health care...that's neither the focus of WEDi (of which this group is a subgroup) nor are there participants here that can articulate the business requirements. And most certainly, stay out of the turf of HL7 and NCPDP. Rachel -----Original Message----- From: William J.

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? William J. Kammerer Novannet, LLC.

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. Rachel Foerster Principal Rachel Foerster & Associates, Ltd.
