Title: TCS: Addenda Changes List




John,

Hello and how are you?  Haven’t talked to you in a while.

 

Unfortunately, any list of Addenda changes would be unofficial at this point.  Although X12N has moved all of the Addenda guides forward for publication, the final answer must come from the Department of Health and Human Services.  As I understand it, HHS is hard at work on a Final Rule for the Addenda with a target date for publication before the end of 2002.  The Final Rule could amend the regulations, which could have varying effects on the transactions themselves.

 

Some of the many items being considered for claims include: when and how to use J-codes vs. NDC codes in both the Professional and the Institutional claims, and when and how to use Provider Taxonomy codes in the Institutional Claim.

 

All of the Addenda guides were published as Draft documents in October 2001.  Five of the guides have changed since that time, while the others have not changed anything.

The five guides that have published changes within X12 are:

X093A1  Health Care Claim Status Request and Response

X094A1  Health Care Services Review – Request for Review and Response

X096A1  Health Care Claim: Institutional

X097A1  Health Care Claim: Dental

X098A1  Health Care Claim: Professional

 

The remaining Addenda guides have not changed.  They are:

X091A1  Health Care Claim Payment/Advice

X092A1  Health Care Eligibility Benefit Inquiry and Response

X095A1  Benefit Enrollment and Maintenance

X061A1  Payroll Deducted and Other Group Premium Payment for Insurance Products

 

The above list describes the guides that X12N has changed within the past twelve months and which guides have not changed since October 2001.  Until the Final Rule is published, however, nothing is official.

 

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of addenda changes for all transactions in spreadsheet or similar format? I'm getting ready to start an impact analysis and would hate to reinvent the wheel if someone has already created this list.

Thanks, John
