Industry Groups & Caucuses
Provider Caucus
The Provider Caucus is an informal industry group with an interest in the activities of ASC X12 concerning healthcare transaction standards.
Key goals include:
- To advocate on EDI-related issues on behalf of providers
- To facilitate provider input into the ASC X12 standards-making process
- To encourage provider participation in each of the EDI transaction workgroups, so that provider input is heard in each workgroup and information from the workgroup is shared with other providers
- To alert providers to issues being discussed that need provider input.
- To educate providers attending X12 about EDI-related issues
The Provider Caucus co-chairs are Karyn White, BJC Healthcare (kmw1291@bjc.org) and Betsy Clore, Wake Forest University Health Sciences (bclore@wfubmc.edu).
The Provider Caucus meets during regularly scheduled ASC X12 Committee Trimester meetings. Meetings are typically scheduled for:
- Sunday, 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
- Tuesday, 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
- Wednesday, 5:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.
