A Code Source contains a Codelist which is a predefined list of codes. Specific fields in a HIPAA message are represented using a code from this list. For example, a field representing the ZIP code in a HIPAA message should have code values from the code source, 51. Module for HIPAA requires code sources to validate the various fields in a HIPAA message.

The different industry standard code sources are bundled in the WmHipaaCodeSource package installed with webMethods Module 9.6 for HIPAA. For the complete list of code sources bundled with the module, see List of Code Sources.

Create database tables that can hold the list of codes from each code source. Then import the code sources from the package into Module for HIPAA so that the module can identify and validate the codes in a HIPAA message.
