Rachel,
Point taken. I have 6 different maps for the 832 depending on
whether it is inbound or outbound to our (Electrical Supply) Industry Data
Warehouse or IDW as it is known within IDEA members.
Shikhar is just beginning. He's got to learn how to walk before he
can run. From what all y'all have been posting, HIPPA is a marathon. I'm
sure once Shikhar gets the hang of things, he'll be back with more specific
questions that all y'all will kindly answer from your experience. Right now
he's asking how to start.
