RE: AS2 returning EDI

Jim,

I'm willing to help flush out a design for the "edi-x12-response" receipt
type if there is consensus among the group for the functionality.
Anyone else interested in a "edi-x12-response" receipt type?

  Dick,

  This looks like a reasonable approach. If there is a weakness it's the
"e.g.". It would be nice if the people behind AS2 would incorporate a
standard way of returning a general EDI payload. (The eligibility response
is just another edi payload in the reverse direction). So maybe a receipt
type of "edi-x12-response" would be a standard way to request an inline edi
response.

    Jim,

    Using the Generalized Receipts approach you would do the following:

    1. Construct a Receipt-type that contains a "eligibility-response", e.g.
HIPAA-ELIGIBILITY-RESPONSE
    2. The sender should include a receipt-disposition-to header along with
the receipt-report-type set to HIPAA-ELIGIBILITY-RESPONSE
    3. If you want the response signed then indicate this with the
receipt-security-selection header
    4. Send these headers along with the HIPAA X12 eligibility inquiry in
the payload
    5. The server should follow the proper behavior to produce the
HIPAA-ELIGIBILITY-RESPONSE

    I've attached a simple HTML form to demonstrate this.

      I would like a future AS2 to clarify how EDI should be returned in the
http response. This is needed for healthcare transactions like eligibility
checks. I assume that the generalized receipt mechanism could be used, but
isn't this important enough to standardize? Are there already proposals to
this effect that I am unaware of?
