RE: X12 vs: XML File Sizes
Peter,
You make a good point. Probably the biggest use of XML is within the
four walls of an organization. I have seen many presentations where
companies will develop an internal XML exchange to communicate between
various applications.

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.
