EDI file analysis based on the HIPAA standards. Compliance with HIPAA EDI rules is an essential part of the exchange of EDI documents. The standards are the only agreed upon rules that sender and receiver use to exchange data from completely different backend systems. Strict adherence is therefore necessary to guarantee frictionless operation.

Unfortunately, HIPAA compliance is difficult and the truth is that many HIPAA EDI files are truly bad. Syntax errors, omitted loops, missing elements, wrongly formatted elements — these are the most common EDI errors. Without a true analysis, it is difficult to say what data ends up in your system.

EDI Exchange has a built-in compliance engine that analyzes each incoming and outgoing EDI transaction. Line by line, element by element, error reporting provides a powerful tool to determine the quality of the incoming and outgoing EDI files. All HIPAA file versions are supported. The compliance check creates a detailed report that lists every compliance issue. Outgoing files can also be checked and individual transaction in violation of HIPAA rules can be held back.

Note: You can enable automatic compliance check on outgoing and incoming EDI files. See Setting up Incoming and Outgoing Files Options.

SEF (Standards Exchange Format) files are repositories of standards information that define the format of EDI documents. SEF files are the basis for the compliance check engine that EDI Exchange uses. These files contain all rules of the implementation guide of a transaction. There is a SEF file for each transaction that EDI Exchange is licensed for. For example, for 837 transactions we have SEF files for institutional, professional and dental claims in 4010, 4010A1 and 5010A1 version and the 997 and 999 transactions.
