What are the various methods possible for generating a print image file for submission to medical claims EDI clearinghouses. I am currently simply writing out the data to an ASCII text file coding the output so each data element consistently appearsin the same place in the file. Are others doing this by writing the outputting code directly in a printer control language?
Thank you

I don't understand why you write ASCII(American Standard Code for Information Interchange) for EDI(Electronic Data Interchange). Both are good format though, but ASCII I belive was written way back in the 60's, we are in the 2000's any letter written in a newer format like word processor has no problem sending and reading.

not sure what you are asking or if the is a standard. i would contact a (*the*, if possible) medical clearinghouse asking them for their requirement re: image files....
