RE: X12 vs: XML File Sizes
It's also good to remember that not everyone involved in health care is
HIPAA bound. There are goods and services being transacted within the
industry that need to be communicated that will ultimately need to be HIPAA
compliant by someone, but it may not be the data originator. Mapping from
an XML structure, properly loop formatted, to X12 or taking that information
into a relational database application for subsequent processing before
generating a HIPAA document, is well worth considering as an alternative to
X12 if the parties are not already exchanging X12 format documents and have
none to limited existing EDI capability.

Just keep in mind that the only "legal" data exchange format between covered
entities for HIPAA transactions is according to the X12 specifications
embodied in the HIPAA guides adopted by the Department of Health and Human
Services. No other exchange format, including XML, is allowed under HIPAA.
So the issue of transaction volume bloat is a non-issue as far as HIPAA
transactions go.
