How can I process an Implementation Acknowledgment?

The HIPAA 999 Master application makes it simple to process and view supplemental documents that cannot be accommodated in the standard 999 Implementation Acknowledgment format. Follow the instructions below to open a single EDI file and display its details in an easy-to-read table format:

 

1.Go to File > Open in the main menu window.

 

 

Alternatively, click the "Open Document" icon in the Taskbar.

 

 

2.Browse through the folders and select a 999 file. Then, click "Open."

 

 

Note: Only files in "ANSI ASC or X12 999" format can be opened with the HIPAA 999 Master application. An error message will be displayed if you select a file in a different format.

 

 

3.Select one of the options in the "Output Mode" box. In our example, we selected the "Screen" mode.

 

The "Output Mode" box is in the Info Bar.

 

4.The file is now open. Click the "Run" button in either the Taskbar or at the bottom of the Info Bar to process the file.

 

You can process Implementation Acknowledgments by clicking "Run" in the Taskbar or the Info Bar.

 

5.When you click the "Run" button, the file will be parsed and the information displayed. Since in our example the output mode is "Screen," the Implementation Acknowledgment is displayed in a separate window. See Displaying Implementation Acknowledgments.
