What is ANSI X12?
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) defines approved standards for almost everything used by consumers (see www.ansi.org for more information). X12 is the name of the defined standards for electronic insurance claims. X12 came into existence along with HIPAA in efforts to standardize the way in which insurance companies receive electronic claims. By using a clearinghouse like Apex, you are very fortunate in not having to deal with or understand the X12 specifications.
