WEDI, a multistakeholder, non-profit organization named in HIPAA as an advisor to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is conducting a survey to determine the impact recommended updates to X12 administrative transactions would have on the health care system. The survey will ask you to rate the potential business value and implementation cost of the X12 version 008060 (v8060) standards to your organization and to your constituency (clients, users, or members) if applicable.

X12 has recommended v8060 to be considered for adoption under HIPAA. Considering there have been no regulatory changes to the current X12 version 005010 standard (v5010) in more than a decade, we seek to better understand how upgrading the transactions will improve current business processes. We are also asking that you estimate the effort required to implement these changes in your EDI workflow (not online portals). You are encouraged to provide additional feedback in the open comment boxes.
