Please put me on the meailing list for the conference calls.
And as a starting point, do we know if the Medicare FIs all do these things
the same way? If so, that seems like the way to go, since all of the
providers are already doing claims submission for Medicare.

Subject: Choosing Implementation Guides White Paper
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)
- Speech Therapy

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 (;->).
