X12

X12 is a set of standardized electronic formats developed by the Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) that allows businesses and organizations to exchange information efficiently and accurately. Commonly used in industries like healthcare, transportation, and finance, X12 formats ensure that data such as invoices, medical claims, or shipping notices is structured uniformly. This standardization helps systems interpret and process information automatically, reducing errors and improving communication speed between different companies and systems. Overall, X12 simplifies and streamlines complex business exchanges by providing a common language for electronic data interchange.
