X12 Standards

X12 Standards are a set of global guidelines used in electronic transactions between healthcare, insurance, and business organizations. They define how data—such as claims, invoices, and payment information—is formatted and exchanged electronically, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and efficiency. By following these standards, different computer systems can reliably communicate and process information quickly, reducing errors and administrative costs. Essentially, X12 acts as a common language for digital business exchanges, streamlining workflows and enabling seamless coordination across various entities.
