It was used extensively by the industry for aligning 4010 edits and through exhaustive testing of both 4010 and 5010; we still see quite often that no two compliance technologies completely agree with each other. This will always be an issue in the industry for years to come due X12 changes in transactions sets, differing interpretations and ambiguities within the implementation guides and now with the advent of ICD-10, the varying codes will be almost impossible to manage.
