Re: NPRM for implementation of Addenda

[David A. Feinberg, C.D.P.]

Deepan,   X12N's Addenda for their HIPAA-adopted Implementation Guides were, indeed, posted to the Washington Publishing Company (X12N's publisher) website (www.wpc-edi.com/hipaa) in late October, 2001.    These Addenda are intended for reference in the Federal Government's forthcoming Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) regarding potential changes to the HIPAA Electronic Transactions regulation.  This NPRM has not yet been published in the Federal Register.   Once the Addenda NPRM is published, there are still a number of steps that must be completed before the Addenda can be considered final and required for implementation under an additional final HIPAA Electronic Transactions regulation.  Completing these steps will likely take many more months!   I hope this short note helps clarify a bit what is a quite lengthy process.                           Dave Feinberg                           Co-Chair, HIPAA Implementation Work Group                             Insurance Subcommittee (X12N)                             Accredited Standards Committee X12                           Voting Member, HL7 and X12                           Rensis Corporation [A Consulting Company]                           206-617-1717                           [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: Deepan Vashi To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 06, 2002 5:05 AM Subject: NPRM for implementation of Addenda Hi everyone,   Draft NPRM for Addenda to Implementation Guide (IG) for all transaction sets (270,271,835,837,276,277,278) was released in October 2001.   Can anyone suggest, if this NPRM has been cleared and changes suggested in Addenda are required to be implemented ?   Thanks   Deepan   www.ipmsolution.com   Internet based Practice Management solution for Physicians, Pharmacies, Labs, Insurance companies and Patients . ********************************************************************** To be removed from this list, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please note that it may take up to 72 hours to process your request. ===================================================== The WEDI SNIP listserv to which you are subscribed is not moderated.
