You're right, they aren't hidden but not free. Hidden was a bad choice of words as they just aren't available without paying.
BizTalk and Websphere documenation on X12 is limited and mainly focuses around the envelopes (though I do believe there are other segments covered in BizTalk docs I just can't find them at the moment). If you don't have access to the specificiations then your only real options are BizTalk/Websphere/other tool docs + companion guides. It isn't going to get you far at all
- dragonwriter 9y agoThe full set of HIPAA mandated X12 standards is only $3,100, which isn't all that much. (Though, yeah, it would be much better if they were still gratis; but even when they were it wasn't exactly like the open-source community was jumping all over them.) The bigger problem is that many of the external code sets referenced are also not-free-of-charge, and weren't even when the X12 standards were.
