RE: IGs and Addenda

[Bass, David (DHS-PSD)]

This excerpt below was lifted from a note from Stanley Nachimson:   The March 10 issue of the Federal Register contains a correction notice for the Modifications to Transactions and Code Sets regulation published on February 20. The notice fixes some significant errors in the February 20 publication. The notice can be seen at: http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/14mar20010800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2003/pdf/C3-3876.pdf Please make sure to copy the entire link and paste it into your browser.   The correct version of the rule (in Word format) is still available at the CMS website (http://www.cms.hhs.gov/regulations/hipaa/cms0003-5/0003ofr2-10.pdf ).   A single corrected version will not be published in any individual issue of the Federal Register. When the next Code of Federal Regulations is published (towards the end of this year) it will contain the corrected version. ________________________________ "And the saga continues..."

You may find references to it or quotes from it in other places, but that is the official statement.  What is in the Federal Register is what must be complied with.  All else is attempts to translate what was said there for ordinary mortals.   Note that it also includes what versions may be used in the interim (which translates to "either")   The operative protion is on pages 8396-8399. "... must comply with the applicable requirements of subparts I through R of this part no later than October 16,2003" applied to Small Health Plans, CEs that requested the extension, and CEs that didn't request the extension (that translates to "Everybody who does electronic transactions of these types").   All of the references to the ASC X12N Specifications include "and Addenda" (The Addenda are modifications to the original IG, and are meaningless without it).   The combination of these equates to requiring the use of ASC X12N 004010 Transactions with the Addenda on or after October 16,2003, and no other.  004010 without the Addenda is explicitly excluded.    The opinions expressed here are my own and not necessarily the opinion of LCMH.   Douglas M.
