Dana, The ISA/IEA interchange can also be only a logical file. There is no requirement under the X12 standards that each interchange be in a separate physical file. Thus, the physical file can contain multiple interchanges. This is certainly allowable under the X12 rules.

For example, within one file can there be a sequence of segments ISA GS ST SE GE IEA ISA GS ST SE GE IEA. If this is a valid sequence, is an entity considered to be non-compliant if they are unable to accept a multiple ISA/IEA enveloping structure? Also, I would be interested to know if other payers can accept a multiple ISA/IEA enveloping structure and how they are dealing with this. Any information is appreciated.
