Introduction and Background

WEDI, a multistakeholder, non-profit organization named in HIPAA as an advisor to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is conducting a survey to determine the impact recommended updates to X12 administrative transactions would have on the health care system.
Considering there have been no changes to the X12 standard (v.5010) in over ten years, we seek to better understand difficulties arising from any gaps in the current standard, and which shortcomings would be resolved by upgrading the transactions as recommended by X12. The following survey will ask you to rate the potential business value of the features within the next version of selected X12 standards to your organization (X12 has recommended version 008020 to be considered for adoption for HIPAA) and to your constituency (clients, users, or members). Business value should be considered as the extent to which the changes will improve your revenue cycle management/adjudication processes. We are also asking that you estimate the effort required to implement these changes and encourage you to provide additional feedback in the open comments box following each question. NOTE: The identification of potential benefits was identified by WEDI, not by X12 or any other organization.
The survey is related to the following Implementation Guides:
X12 005010X221 Health Care Claim Payment/Advice (835)
X12 005010X222 Health Care Claim: Professional (837P)(837)
X12 005010X223 Health Care Claim: Institutional (837I)(837)
X12 005010X224 Health Care Claim: Dental (837D)(837)
(see https://x12.org/news-and-events/letter-to-ncvhs-set-1 for the specific recommendations made to the National Committee for Vital and Health Statistics by X12)
Please forward this survey to a colleague or trading partner if you are not the appropriate person within your organization to answer the questions, and to other trading partners or organizations that could also complete the survey.
The questions should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. No individual identifiable information is collected in the survey, so responses are completely anonymous. We ask that one person consolidates the responses on behalf of their organization. The data being collected is for informational purposes only. We appreciate your feedback. If you have any questions about the survey, please submit to apoole@wedi.org. This survey will close June 30, 2024.
