Accredited Standards Committee X12
The Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12, a group of standards supported by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), creates consistent standard data elements for healthcare transactions such as: claims and encounters, eligibility inquiries and responses, claim status inquiries and responses, referrals and prior authorizations, and healthcare payment and remittance advice.
The use of these national standards is mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). ASC X12 is one of six data standards maintenance organizations named in HIPAA, along with National Uniform Billing Committee (NUBC), National Uniform Claims Committee (NUCC), Health Level 7 (HL7), National Council of Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) and Dental Content Committee (DeCC). The Health Care Service: Data Reporting Guide uses the same standards for the transfer of health data, such as assessments of quality and fulfillment of legislative and regulatory mandates to local, state and federal agencies.

National Uniform Billing Committee
The National Uniform Billing Committee (NUBC) is a voluntary, multidiscplinary committee operated by the American Hospital Association. NUBC is one of six data standards maintenance organizations named in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), along with the Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12,the National Uniform Claims Committee (NUCC), Health Level 7 (HL7), the National Council of Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP), and the Dental Content Committee (DeCC).
The NUBC maintains the data specifications manual, called the UB, providing standard data content for the institutional billing requirements. The latest version, the UB-04, also supports the institutional reporting requirements. The UB-04 is used by many others, including public health and health researchers, as a tool to guage the delivery of health care services to patients. NUBC serves as the forum for discussions that lead to mutually agreed data elements for the claim and reporting business needs. It is important to note that the data content in the UB specifications manual has become part of the HIPAA requirements detailed in ANSI X12
