 * esMD Community Harmonization Meeting **


 * Date of Meeting: 8.8.12 **


 * Actions Items and Decisions: **

Decisions:
 * After feedback from Gail Kocher and Trebba Putnam, a determination was made that there is no strong business need to support distinct identifiers and other information for a subscriber and beneficiary. The single patient loop of the 277 RFI transaction set is sufficient.
 * Authority information and cover letter text will not be included in the code set or codified in the transaction.
 * R-code sets are deemed sufficient unless the group hears otherwise from Karen Shutt.
