Formats: ANSI ASC X12 and XML

The HIPAA messages accept either the standard ANSI ASC X12 or XML formats as input, by default. You do not need to change the existing Business Protocols (BPs) or eGate Java Collaboration Definitions (JCDs) to specify the input format (standard data is ANSI X12 or XML).

For more information about HIPAA, see the Web sites listed under Additional HIPAA References.
