I guess the providers will have to change their proprietary systems

I have been involved in a number of "conversions" of proprietary formatted data into 
835 format. I firmly believe that payers who attempt this will quickly see the 
difficulty of fitting the round pegs of their prop. data into the square holes of the 
835 format. This challenge will lead many, I believe, to consider changing their prop. 
claim adjudication system to one which accepts 837's and creates 835's directly, once 
they are available on the market. 

Any transaction format-savvy entrepreneurs out there?
