Factual Questions

OK, Dopers, my employer’s standing over my shoulder, so don’t let me down.

What can you tell me about the ANSIX 12 standard used for e-commerce? Specifically, how readily obtainable is it, and how easy is it to use?

As always, thanks for your help.

Sorry, I checked the link, but it didn’t help. Does anyone else have any information?

I am familiar with the ANSI X12 standards only as they pertain specifically to the new Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). There are 8 reulated transactions (soon to be 10) that this law mandates for certain types of healthcare EDI.

I’m not sure if that helps, but I do know that you can download the implementation guides specific to HIPAA for the X12 standards at:

I’m afraid that link doesn’t work. I’ll try a search on Google again, but if you have a better link, that would help.

Google on “ANSI X. 12”. I learned that when I did my first search using your “ANSIX 12”.
