Response Files

The "Response Files" box will allow you to determine where to store your response files. The location will depend on whether you have enabled EDI Exchange.

 

If EDI Exchange is not enabled, you must select a location for the application to store outgoing response files.

Processed Files

The first setting concerns the handling of EDI files after processing. In order to avoid the duplicate processing of EDI files, we recommend that you move files after processing into an archive folder so that they are not processed multiple times. When working with copies of files, you can choose to delete the copies after processing. Always ensure that the original files are saved in a secure location. EDI files are important business documents and you want to make sure that you can access them at a later point in time for trouble shooting, audits, and other reasons. Leave in Place means the file remains in its original location and is not moved or deleted after processing.

 

This options also depends on EDI Exchange being enabled or disabled. If EDI Exchange is enabled, a location will be pre-determined for processed file to be moved.

Note: We recommend that you move files after processing into an archive folder to avoid multiple processing. If you work with a copy of files stored somewhere else you might also delete files after processing, but make sure that you have the original somewhere else.

 

oDelete — Select this option to delete the processed files.

 

You will see a note indicating that processed and response file folders need to be set in EDI Exchange Setup. See the EDI Exchange Manual for more details.

Log

The next item is the log. The HIPAA Eligibility Responder keeps track of all the step of processing EDI files. When it is run through the command line, those messages will be saved in the log.

 

The log setting determines whether process messages will be saved to the log file at all times.

Update

The next item determines whether the application on start-up looks for the existence of updates and newer version. Some companies have a strict policy that all updates have to be thoroughly tested before they can be implemented and users should not be faced with an option of update the application. For this case, we have the below check mark:

 

Set if you want to suppress update messages.

Document Color

The next item on the setup screen determines whether the back ground and labels on the printable form are in red to contrast them with the font color of black. When printing the forms to paper on a color printer you can save money and resources by choosing black. Otherwise it makes the forms much easier to read when you have background and labels in red.

 

Set the color of document background and labels.

Generation Settings

This section of the setup is concerned with the source and receiver verification:
