Lynne: HIPAA mandates the NCPDP Retail Pharmacy electronic transactions between pharmacists and payers for eligibility, claims and remittance advices. We had previously discussed including NCPDP transactions in our plans, but had been dissuaded from doing so; see http://www.mail-archive.com/routing@wedi.org/msg00556.html.
I'll echo Chris Feahr: "Perhaps you could provide the group an overall description of the envelope structure and message transport mechanisms used in the NCPDP system." Some of the hesitance to venture into NCPDP may simply be due to ignorance on our part, considering most of us are X12 types! Maybe there's no problem at all integrating NCPDP's needs - on a first-class basis - within our Healthcare CPP Registry. William J. Kammerer Novannet, LLC.

As the task group is made up of business and technical folks in the pharmacy industry, is there a primer document or something they can read to come up to speed with the work being done? thank you
