Public Review Announcement
Announcing a Second Public Review Period for 277 Health Care Claim
Acknowledgement Implementation Guide (004040X167)
The ASC X12N Health Care Claim Acknowledgement (277)
Implementation Guide (004040X167) is now available for industry
review. This guide has been developed by X12N TG2 WG5, which is the
Claim Status work group within the Health Care task group of the
Insurance Subcommittee of X12. X12 is an Accredited Standards
Committee (ASC) under ANSI (American National Standards Institute).
This is a second Pubic Review Comment due to changes requested to the
implementation guide during the first Public Comment Review.
The purpose of this implementation guide is to:
* Provide claim status information from the payer without health care
provider solicitation. For example, acknowledgement of a health
care claim transmission.
The guide is based on version 4040 of the ASC X12 family of
standards.
The public review period will commence at 9:00 P.M. EST on December
13, 2002 and will close at 6:00 P.M. EST on January 13, 2003.
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 implementation guide can be submitted via the
on-line conference at:
