HIPAA EDI Support

Creating solutions to process HIPAA EDI files can be a daunting task especially if you do not have the right EDI tool, but with Framework EDI you can create your own dream EDI solution.  The Framework EDI software not only simplifies the task of creating EDI applications, but enables you to create robust solutions that integrate with your legacy system seamlessly and accurately.  Its EDI component makes it easy to write programs that validate EDI files as well as generate and translate large EDI files quickly.  You're not sure how to acknowledge EDI files that you receive?  Well, that too is not a problem with an EDI component that can generate 997 and 999 acknowledgments automatically.  Below are example programs to show how one can easily create HIPAA EDI solutions with the Framework EDI.


Example programs
Below are example programs to demonstrate how to generate, translate and acknowledge HIPAA EDI files with the Framework EDI component.

Excel - EDI instructions for Excel example programs

  • Excel Translate an 837 EDI file  64-bit
    This Excel program translates an 837 5010X224A2 EDI file (Healh Care Claim: Dental) into an Excel spreadsheet.  The advantage of translating EDI files into Excel is that EDI data is converted into usable data on to a spreadsheet with ease.  You can also take advantage of Excel’s export feature to output the data into other formats such as CSV.  In essence, this would be an easy way of converting EDI to CSV or delimited text or any other format that the Excel export feature supports.
  • Excel Generate an 834 EDI file  64-bit
    In this example, the Excel program has one worksheet that can generate an 834 4010X095 EDI file (Benefit Enrollment and Maintenance), and another worksheet that can translate the same 834 EDI file.  To generate the EDI file, you would enter your data on to the worksheet, then click on the generate button to create the outbound 834 EDI file.  You could also, if your columns match, open your CSV or delimited text file on to the worksheet and then click on the generate button to create the EDI file basically making Excel a CSV to EDI, or delimited text to EDI convertor application.  view code generate translate
  • Excel Generate an 837 EDI file  64-bit
    In this example, the Excel program has one worksheet that can generate an 837 5010X222A1 EDI file (Health Care Claim).  There is sample data in the INPUT-DATA worksheet from where data is pulled for the EDI file generated. To generate, just click the generate button, and the outbound 837 EDI file will be created.  You can, of course, replace the sample with your own for testing.  Note that the Service Line is unique per line, and the corresponding data related to that Service Line completes a single row.

  • CsharpGen271X279  32-bit | 64-bit
    This is a C# program that generates a 271 5010X279 EDI file (Health Care Eligibility Benefit Inquiry and Response).  It shows how an EB segment with repeating elements is created.  view code
  • CsharpTran271X279  32-bit | 64-bit
    This example program translates a 271 5010X279 HIPAA EDI file.  Pay special attention to how the EB segment with repeating elements is translated.  Note also that the Repetition Separator is defined in ISA11 (data element I65) of the ISA segment.  view code
  • CsharpAck999  32-bit | 64-bit
    In this example, the program reads an 837 5010X221A1 EDI file, and then creates a 999 5010X231A1 and TA1 acknowledgment for the received 837 EDI file.  The program also shows how to read the TA1 and 999 EDI file it just created to check if the 837 EDI file was rejected or accepted.  view code
  • CsharpTranAck999  32-bit | 64-bit
    This example shows how to translate a 999 5010X231A1 (Implementation Acknowledgment) EDI file that also has a TA1 (Interchange Acknowledgment) segment.  view code
  • CsharpAck997  32-bit | 64-bit
    This C# program reads an 835 5010X221A1EDI file, and then creates a 997 5010X230 and TA1 acknowledgment for it.  The program also shows how to read the TA1 and 997 EDI file to check if the 835 EDI file was rejected or accepted.  view code
  • CsharpValidate  32-bit | 64-bit
    This simple program shows how one can easily create an EDI validator with the Framework EDI (FREDI) component.  Note that FREDI validates EDI files by matching the EDI file against the schematics of the SEF file.  Any discrepancy found will be regarded as an error.  In this example, we are validating an 837 5010X222A1 EDI file so we have to use an 837 5010X222A1 SEF file.  view code
  • cSharp275X210  32-bit | 64-bit
    This example shows how to generate a 275 5010X210 EDI file with a binary file and a text file embedded in it; and also shows how to read the same EDI file and extract the binary file and text file from it.  view translate view generate code

 

Visual Basic .NET

  • VbNetAck999  32-bit | 64-bit
    Implementation Acknowledgment Transaction Set 999 5010X231A1 in VB.NET (64-bit)
  • VbNet_Validate  32-bit | 64-bit
    A simple VB.NET validation program (64-bit)
  • VbNetTranGen837X098_SqlClient  32-bit | 64-bit
    This is an example VB.NET program that reads and translates an 837P EDI file (837 4010X098) and stores the data into a SQL database.  It also generates an outbound 837P EDI files with data obtained from a SQL database.  (837 to SQL and vice-versa SQL to 837).  view Gen code view Tran code
