Chris, Actually there are 3 versions of the X12 standards each year. The major version/release (e.g., 4010) is based on membership balloting after the October Trimester meeting each year. The new version is them typically available to purchase by year end or a little bit into January of the following year.
However, as you know, X12 has three meetings a year: February, June and October. Following the February and June meetings all changes/additions to the standard that have been approved by the respective subcommittees, Technical Assessment and Procedures Review Board are then sent out to the full membership for ballot. The results of those ballots then result in what are call subreleases, e.g., 004011 and 004012. These subreleases are available only in soft copy (i.e., electronic form) while the major yearend version/release is available in several formats/media. Loop 2440 is in subsequent versions of the X12 standard for the 837. The real question, then is will this loop be retained in the next version of the HIPAA guides, based on version 004050. This question should be posed to the appropriate work group at X12N/TG2 that's working on the 837 professional. Rachel Foerster Principal Rachel Foerster & Associates, Ltd.

I assume that the 2440 loop will be retained in the 4050... would this be a safe assumption? -Chris At 08:37 AM 4/23/02 -0400, Beecher, Anthony wrote: >Chris, > >Please post this information.
