Art, I don't believe such a code was added to DE235 in the X12 standards. On
the other hand, a code the the Universal Product Number

UX Universal Product Number

A unique identifier of a healthcare product

was added to the codeset. I submitted the original data maintenance request
for this at the time the UPN was being agreed to between HIBCC and UCC.

I'm curious...what would be the distinction bewtween an electronic product
code versus the Universal Product Number versus any othe product identifier?
And why would you think that companies would want to maintain yet another
set of product identifiers with all of the units of measure, packaging
levels, package counts, etc. Don't you think there are enough different
product identifiers for health care products that are already confounding
the industry?

The Health Industry Business Communications Council is asking if there is a
qualifier for EPC code, the Electronic Product Code. Industry leaders are
talking about implementation in Q1 2005. Does anybody know of a DISA
response to this requirement?
