Re: 837 Medical Claims question
Karen,
All 837 claims MUST BE HIPAA compliant per government regulation. There are
fines and jail terms for not following HIPAA guidelines. My suggestion would
be, since you have such a tremendously short deadline (Oct 16), is to follow
HIPAA guidelines strictly. This is a little difficult, as they are somewhat
confusing and HUGE, but, all people accepting 837's and sending them must be
able to send/receive HIPAA compliant documents per law. The HIPAA guidelines
are available at www.edi-wpc.com, free in .pdf format, for a fee (hefty) in
paper form. The 837 is two books, approx 800 pages. I might also suggest
joining the wedi-snip listservs to see if they can be of any help, the url is
http://www.wedi.org/. I wish you all the luck in the world.

Subject: [EDI-L] 837 Medical Claims question
I have been using EDI X12 for several years in business organizations
using po's, invoices, acknowledgements... I have just started working
on Medical claims... when i have asked our trading partners for specs
on what they are sending, 90% of the them are referring me to the 857
standard x12 format.... In the past, I have mapped each tp according
to their specs of what fields within what segments they were
sending... easy, precise.... what I am finding here is that nobody
seems to have their own specs, although some are choosing
different 'optional' segments.. I find myself having to look thru the
file they have sent, deciphering what fields are in what segments ...
Some tp's are even sending segments that according to the
837 'standard' mapping are 'not used'... ??? is this typical of
medical claims? I feel like there is something here I am
missing ... any suggestions? thanks much!
Karen
