Participation Requested in WEDI 837 Cost Benefit Survey

The WEDI ROI Task Group is asking you to once again take a brief survey with regards to implementation of the X12 5010 version of the 837 Health Care Claim transactions.  The original survey had a very poor response rate.  This is attributed to multiple factors.  In reviewing the survey results, it is clear the proper context to several of the questions was not clear.  In addition, we found flaws in the possible answers made available to you.  Also, the way certain questions were asked resulted in answers that were not conducive to grouping and analysis of the responses.  As a result, we are re-issuing what we believe is a much improved survey.  Please accept our apologies as we learn from our initial mistakes.

If you have implemented, or plan to implement, the HIPAA-adopted X12 837 Health Care Claims transactions, we need your help by completing a survey. WEDI and the Designated Standard Maintenance Organizations (DSMOs) need this information to provide the federal government with an industry-wide cost-benefit analysis for adopting a newer version of the X12 837 under HIPAA – version 5010.  To ensure that your responses are included, please complete the survey by July 2, 2007.

The survey can be found at http://vovici.com/wsb.dll/s/127f7g2a116 ...

We thank you for your support.
