Aloha!
Earlier today, during the WEDI SNIP Business Issues
weekly conference call, we discussed the need for a WEDI SNIP White
Paper for providing industry guidance regarding what HIPAA X12N 837
Implementation Guide (IG) should be used for services for which this has not
been consistent within the industry. I have reviewed my discussion
notes, some related WEDI SNIP Business Issues Listserv discussions, and
some related X12N/TG2/WG2 (837) Listserv discussions of this issue in order
to compile the lists below.
The "Potential Topics" list includes any items that were
brought forth in any of those discussions.
The "Potential Participants" list shows those who explicitly
stated that they want to participate on one of the listservs.
The "Other Parties" list includes anyone else who
participated in the listserv discussions, but who didn't explicitly volunteer
to help with the white paper.
I am CCing this note to both the WEDI SNIP Transactions
Workgroup listserv and the X12N/TG2/WG2 (837) listserv as a way of
soliciting additional topics and more white paper volunteers. As such, I
am agreeable to compiling a much longer list of volunteers in another week or
so. Please send your messages to me directly if you do not
have access to either of these listservs.
Potential 837 IG Guidance Topics:
- Ambulatory Surgery
- End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
- Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)
- Home Health
- Home Infusion
- Long-Term Health
- Mental Health
- Oral Surgery
- Outpatient
- Personal Care (WI)
- Physical Therapy
- Rural Health Centers (RHCs)

Happily, the previous discussions on these listservs
have provided us with a good starting point. I could provide two
preliminary work products, if the participants think that they would be
helpful:
(1) I could create a summary of the two discussion
threads mentioned above. This would be a simple cut and paste of each
unique contribution, organized by date and time within the discussion
threads.
(2) I could create a summary of the following for use
in an appendix, and to help keep us on the same page of our HIPAA
Playbook:
(2) (a) Related provisions of the law.
(2) (b) Related provisions of the regulatory text.
(2) (c) Related provisions of the regulatory preamble.
(2) (d) Related provisions of the HHS FAQs and Q&As.

PS: When scheduling conference calls, remember that
I'm either five or six hours behind East Coast Time, depending on the time of
year. But I have weird sleeping habits too, so you can't necessarily
avoid me just by scheduling calls at a bad time (;->).
