The first of potentially several reduced price arrangements for health
care providers to obtain X12's Version 005010 HIPAA-adopted Type 3
Technical Reports (TR3s) is now in effect.

Through an agreement between X12 and the American Hospital
Association, AHA members who are not X12 members may purchase X12's
Version 005010 HIPAA TR3s at a discount from the listed price. X12
members already receive an even greater price-break on these TR3s.
Further details on obtaining the AHA discount, or becoming an X12
member, can be found at http://store.x12.org/aha_discounts.htm .

In order to facilitate better provider understanding and use of X12's
Version 005010 HIPAA TR3s, X12 is also willing to discuss reduced price
arrangements with other provider associations that may be interested.
Representatives of provider associations interested in opening these
discussions should contact Karyn White, Co-Chair of X12's Provider
Caucus, at kmw1291@... for additional information.
