RE: <SALES> 837I
Omigod, translate flat file into XML and then use XSL to get it into a
highly complex 837 institutional claim transaction that complies with both
X12 and the HIPAA implementation guide. Anyone want to place bets on the
final result?
Also, X12 is most certainly NOT a flat file. Flat file typical implies fixed
field fixed record length. Rather, X12 is a data stream or binary file of
ASCII text characters, except of course, if one uses a transaction with the
BIN segment and flops into the BIN non-ASCII files, such as image files, CAD
files, etc.

There are a lot of different any-to-any tools that would do this for you.
You will probably need to be a bit more specific though in the details of
the project. Mainly being load, OS, and automation need. Also pricing may be
an issue. Most mapping tools range greatly in price.
If you can run this on Windows and cost is a major issue, SysOnyx offers a
light weight, affordable tool called xmlLinguist at
http://www.xmllinguist.com. The map editor retails at $79.95 and the
automation engine is free. xmlLinguist translates a flatfile into XML and
visa-versa. EDI X12 documents are also considered "flatfile". Thus, you can
translate the propriatary billing file into XML, apply a stylesheet to get
it into the 837I format, then translate that back into the flat, X12 format.
Like this:
billingfile -> xmlLinguistMap into XML -> XML Stylesheet to 837 structure ->
xmlLinguistMap into 837 file.
And through the free automation engine, this can be automated via a VBScript
or a commandline EXE. The key with xmlLinguist is affordability and
leveraging a relatively well known transformation language, XSL. With very
little out-of-pocket expense, you're up and running.

can anybody recomend a translator/mapper that would create an 837I
document from a 'flat file' created by a propriatary billing system?.
