1/22/00 I have a client in the Health Care Insurance Industry currently using a 'conventional' EDI translator/mapper (Trading Partner/MVS) to receive 837 Claim/Encounter documents (several variations) and send 837 (for COB) and 835 Remittance Advice documents. They will be adding a couple of documents for an eligibility application and are considering "going ANSI" for claim status and possibly offering support for the 816 Organizational Relationships document for provider "chains." Anyway, they are in the process of replacing their current private VAN software with a VAN software product from Muscato (http://www.muscato.com). When that is done, the client wants to take a hard look at the EDI translation software. Muscato has claimed that they can handle all the ANSI translation and mapping; and in fact as provided some user names with some pretty fair references. But for as long as I have worked with ANSI/EDIFACT EDI (since 1983), I have never heard the Muscato name associated with EDI. The web site listed above gives some standard marketing spiel about a couple of ANSI EDI documents; but I cannot find any more material in the trade press, web search engines or from any of my "EDI-literate" colleagues. Does anyone have any experience with this firm?
