5 Testing Overview and Transmission Method 1: Download a Validator User Guide. Visit the How to learn about electronic enrollment site: Select Enrollment Login Page at the bottom of the webpage At the bottom of the login screen, select Download the testing user guide #2: Request a Validator login ID and password. On the same login screen noted above, select Step 1: To log in, you'll need to request a user ID and password. Via the request, provide your personal company name and tax id (not the employer group s information). If you do not receive your login id and password within a two days, please contact the EDI Helpdesk , Opt#2 or our EDI Support Specialist submitteridrequests@bcbsm.com. #3: Log in and begin Validator self-testing. NOTE: When testing with the Validator Self-Test Tool, do not send PHI data in the test file. Be sure to send test data and not the actual enrollment data. Keep the test file small limiting it to about 15 or so samplings of your data. For example, if you will be sending Medicare, COB, etc. be sure to include them in your Validator test. #4: Complete Validator self-testing. You must receive a green check to complete testing successfully. Once testing is complete, contact our EDI Analyst via for a review and sign-off. EDICustMgmt@bcbsm.com Please include the following in your at the above address: Validator Id Group tested Date of File BCBSM/BCN Business Analyst Version (5010) Page 3 of 33

6 #5: Obtain final approval. Once the Validator testing review is complete, you and your BCBSM/BCN Business Analyst will receive notification from EDI. Your BCBSM/BCN Business Analyst will submit a request for you to receive Secured File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) connection. You will use this SFTP connection to send file(s) into BCBSM. You will continue working with your BCBSM/BCN Business Analyst for subsystem and production testing: o o o You will be instructed on submitting your first subsystem test file with an ISA15 indicator of T. Once you pass subsystem and are approved for production, you will be instructed to change ISA15 from T to P. Files containing P in ISA15 will then be recognized and processed as a production file; however, you cannot submit a production file until approved by the Business Analyst. ANSI ASC X12N Benefit Enrollment and Maintenance 834 (005010X220A1) Reporting Instruction Clarifications General Overview The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) require that all health insurance payers in the United States comply with the version EDI standards for health care as established by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Change File, Full File Update or Full Audit File The 834 transaction set can be used to: provide updates to the membership database via change files; provide updates to the membership database via full files; or request an audit against the membership database via full audit files. Please note, full audit files are used for informational purposes and updates/changes contained in a full audit file are not applied. A change file contains add, terminate or update requests. A change file should only contain information about the changed members. A full file can be used to apply updates. Submitters should send terminations on full files that are being used to apply updates. Page 4 of 33

7 A full audit file lists all current members. A full audit file facilitates keeping the sponsor s and payer s systems synchronized. A full audit file is not intended to contain a history of all previous enrollments. When sending a full file audit, Loop 2000, INS03 must be 030. INS04 must be XN and Loop 2300, HD01 must be 030. It will do a compare only. Updates will not be applied. In all three instances, BGN08 must be reported and identify whether the transaction is: an update (2); a full file to apply changes (RX); or a full file audit (4). Consumer Driven Health Plans (CDHP) Refer to the Data Requirements section for details to report information related to Health Savings Account (HSA), Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) benefits. Maximums/Limitations To ensure proper routing when possible, lines of business should be submitted in separate transactions. Additional Information TA1 Interchange Acknowledgements Interchange Acknowledgements (TA1) are used to reply to an interchange or transmission, notify the sending trading partner of problems that were encountered in the interchange control structure, and verify the envelope information. TA1 acknowledgements are only provided when requested in the Interchange Control Header. Refer to Appendix B (B Interchange Acknowledgment,TA1) of the ANSI ASC X12N 834 version X220 TR3 for additional terminology, and information for the TA1 Interchange Acknowledgement. 999 Functional Acknowledgements Functional Acknowledgements (999) are used to facilitate control of EDI. Segments within the 999 are used to identify the acceptance or rejection of functional groups, transaction sets or segments. Data elements in error can also be identified. BCBSM will return 999 acknowledgements on a daily basis to verify receipt of files from trading partners. Refer to Section Implementation Acknowledgment of the ANSI ASC X12N 834 version X220 TR3 for additional terminology and information for the 999 Functional Acknowledgement. Page 5 of 33
