Dave,
I'm still a little confused regarding the earliest date at which CEs can
actually implement the addenda version of the IGs in their business
applications. Is this particular "addenda" in any way "special" in that
regard... since this is considered to be the initial ("fast-track") "course
correction" permitted in the first year after the rules initial
publication? On what schedule will they be able to implement futire IG
changes?
It will be one matter (and not a simple one) for CEs to maintain access to
all these different code set versions over the years... because the version
at the time of initial service will be the "legal" one for any transaction
(right?). But having to maintain systems programmed to various versions of
the IGs sounds impossible. Are we going to attempt to maintain a degree of
"backward compatibility" in the new IG versions?
