Public Review Announcement
Announcing a 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 Healthcare task group of the Insurance Subcommittee
of X12. X12 is an Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) under ANSI
(American National Standards Institute).
The purpose of this implementation guide is to:
* Convey status information in order to acknowledge the receipt
of health care claim transaction submission.
* Provide information related to the specific health care claim
transaction submission being acknowledged
* Provide audit trail information for both sender and receiver of
each transaction.
The guide is based on version 4040 of the ASC X12 family of
standards.
The public review period will commence July 22, 2002 and will close
on August 21, 2002.
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 instructions can be submitted via the on-line
conference at:
