HHS published a proposed rule adopting standards for electronic health care claims attachments in the September 23 Federal Register
The proposed rule adopts two new X12 transaction standards, an HL7 messaging standard to carry clinical information in the response transaction, and HL7 specifications for the content or "questions" that may be asked in each of the six attachment types. This proposed rule also adopts the Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) as a new HIPAA code set to be used to identify the questions and answers.
HHS seeks comment on the proposed rule until November 22.
