Following is a message from X12N's Architecture special work group
on Transaction Acknowledgment announcing a public comment period for a
new Implementation Guide. This is not presently a HIPAA

related to communicating health care information using X12N's already
adopted HIPAA Guides.
Participation in the announced review is open to all who may be
interested. Instructions on how to participate are included in the
message below. Please participate if you are able.

Public Review Announcement
Announcing a Public Review Period for "Implementation Guide Reporting"
Implementation Guide (004050X166).
The ASC X12N "Implementation Guide Reporting" Implementation
Guide 004050X166 is now available for industry review. This
guide has been developed by X12N-TG8-SPWG1, which is the
Implementation Guide Reporting work group within the Architecture task
group of the Insurance Subcommittee of X12. X12 is an Accredited
Standards Committee (ASC) under ANSI (American National Standards
Institute).
Purpose/Scope
The Implementation Guide Reporting Implementation Guide describes
the use of the ANSI ASC X12 Application Advice (824) transaction set
for the following business usages:
- To report errors that are outside of the scope of the ANSI ASC
X12 997 error reporting.
- To acknowledge receipt of an error-free transaction.
Exceptions/Limitations
Intended for use only within insurance-related business
processes.
The guide is based on version 4050 of the ASC X12 family of standards.
The public review period will commence 7/17/2002 and will close on
8/16/2002.
The authors will review and discuss any and all comments following the
public review period. Official work group responses will be sent to
the individual commenter who submitted the comment and will be posted
to the on-line conference. All work group responses will be posted at
least 15 days prior to the corresponding Informational Forum. This is
the only public review period. For a complete understanding of
changes being made to the guide, reviewers should monitor the on-line
conference during the public review period and review all author
responses prior to the Informational Forum.
Watch for the announcement of the corresponding Informational
Forum. The Information Forum is the final opportunity to comment on
modifications based on the public review period comments.
The draft implementation guide is available for download at:

Comments on the draft instructions can be submitted via the on-line
conference at:
