Si,
The X12N 271 Roster is not mandated for use under HIPAA. Health plans still will need
to support the X12N 270/271, even if they do support the Roster. A final X12N 004010
271 Roster Implementation Guide is nearing completion and would be allowed to be used
under HIPAA.
For more information you can search on the word "roster" in 45 CFR Parts 160 and 162
(the transaction final rule). There are a number of references to the 271 Roster.

Subject: Health Plan Rosters
If this is an old issue, excuse my going over old ground. But, I would
appreciate any guidance.
Here is the situation. A self-funded health plan sends a monthly electronic
enrollment roster to its plan administrator. That roster contains personal
information on individuals being added to and deleted from the health plan.
I know this roster must meet privacy and security requirements.
My question is: Must this roster be formatted to meet HIPAA EDI transaction
requirements?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Si Nahra
