    Proposed modifications to the current EDI Standard proceed through a series of ballots and must be approved by impacted subcommittees, the Technical Assessment Subcommittee (TAS), and the Accredited Standards Committee stakeholders in order to be included in the next publication.

    The tables on this page depict the key dates for various steps in a normal modification/publication cycle.

    X12 Recommendations to NCVHS

    X12 has submitted the first two in a series of recommendations related to advancing the version of already adopted and mandated transactions and proposing additional transactions for adoption.

    Based on industry feedback, X12 is using a phased approach for the recommendations rather than presenting the entire catalog of adopted and mandated transactions at once. Each recommendation will cover a set of logically grouped transactions and will include supporting information that will assist reviewers as they look at the functionality enhancements and other revisions.
