Patrick/NANOG, see list of sites below to get information on IPV6
transitions. When you go to www.cio.gov you can type in ipv6 in the
search bar to get more information. When the USG migrates to IPv6
those agencies working with them will have to migrate or take one of
the approaches listed in previous postings to the nanog list. It'll
most likely be a slow transition but you'll really need to have that
conversation with the agency you're supporting or getting services
from to determine their timeline and what will be supported in the
future.
Now more specifically in your case that would be a good question for
HHS & SSA on what the roadmap is for pushing information and receiving
it for medicare or other e-gov programs.
I typed in the following into google and got all kinds of good info
related to your question: ipv6 medicare and site:.gov

I'm looking for documentation on how the US Government IPv6 mandate
affects associated agencies--e.g. healthcare providers, non-profits,
or any company that depends on US Gvt. funding, record keeping, or
financial reimbursement for services rendered (e.g. via Medicare).
Over the past 5 years most US Gvt--Assoc. Agencies communications
have moved from modem/BBS type systems to Internet based systems.
With the mandate, IPv4 will still be available, but I would bet it
will be less and less supported as time moves on. I would like to
see what the Gvt. has planned....
I've googled, read FAQs, and looked over the docs at whitehouse.gov
without much luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
