Additionally, claims must conform to provisions as set forth in any provider network contracts.

Getting Started MD On‐Line’s technology allows trading partners to submit claims check eligibility, receive claims status, and receive remittance advice and referrals. The MDOL network is easy to access and is based on HIPAA compliant standard transactions.

To get started, contact MDOL EDI Submitter Enrollment at 888‐499‐5465 for your Submitter Registration information and setup.

Submitter EDI Enrollment

Contact MDOL EDI Submitter Enrollment at 888‐499‐5465 for enrollment information.

Connectivity Options to Send and Receive Files

MD On‐Line offers EDI Submitter Trading Partners a web‐based file upload and report retrieval protocol. Contact MDOL EDI Submitter Enrollment at 888‐499‐ 5465 for more information.

Administrative Guidelines a. Each inbound transmission to MDOL should contain only one ISA/IEA

interchange. Within the ISA/IEA interchange, a trading partner may send multiple GS/GE functional groups. In turn, each GS/GE functional group may contain multiple ST/SE transaction sets.

b. Current J‐Codes (HCPCS) must be used in place of NDC codes. c. MDOL will not process negative alues. d. Claims that have more than seven characters in the dollar amount

segments will not be processed. (i.e. Amounts in excess of $99,999. not be processed.)

e. MDOL will not support file compression f. MDOL will only accept files that re formatted in uppercase

9 will

g. Until all payors request NPI only on claims, MDOL requests that legacy provider ID’s are submitted with NPI numbe s on claims.

h. When submitting provider tax ID’s, ID type (SSN or EIN) must match type enrolled in MDOL systems. If type is in question, please contact technical support at (888) 499‐5465.

i. If you are approved for 837 Professional claims production, any programming chang s to your software M ST be tested by MDOL prior

to submitting claims from the changed software. Please contact technical support at (888) 499‐5465 to schedule testing.

j. Payor ID’s must be included in claims in the 2010BB segment. Please refer to the MDOL website at www.mdol.com for a complete list of payor ID’s.

Transaction Testing

MDOL will require testing with EDI Submitters before accepting production transmissions. EDI Submitters will receive all of the output reports that will be available in a production environment. For example, if a valid test claim file is submitted, they will receive:

� Communications Report � Functional Acknowledgement Report (997) � Claims Submission Validation Report(s).

Retesting is required if an EDI Submitter alters or upgrades their processing system as system changes may effect the production format.

MDOL reserves the right to temporarily revoke production status when an EDI Partner’s transactions repeatedly cause production errors. Production status would be re‐instated once retesting occurs and production errors are resolved.

Testing Steps

a. Once registration is complete, MDOL distributes a test submitter ID, secure password, and URL. The test submitter ID should be present in all test fil s in the ISA and GS segments.

b. The EDI Submitter creates test file (minimum of 10 transactions representative of types that will be submitted in production). For example, the test file contains 10 claims representing the various claim types submitted in the normal course of business such as chiropractic, anesthesia, and/or general office claims. It is important that valid patient used within the test file.

ii. The Claims Submission Validation Reports will indicate if the file passed internal edits. This report will show accepted and non‐accepted claims

e. EDI Submitter must correct all errors and resubmit the test files until these errors pass all edits. For assistance on these errors, please contact MDOL EDI Trading Partner Support 888‐499‐5465.

f. EDI Submitter must continue to make corrections and resubmit until the Not Accepted report shows zero claims present in the not accepted section of the report. For assistance with errors on the Not Accepted Report, please contact MDOL EDI Trading Partner Support 888‐499‐5465.

g. Once all test files are determined “clean” of errors, the Trading Partner must contact MDOL EDI Submitter Support at 888‐499‐5465 and an EDI representative will distribute a production submitter ID number production password.

NOTE: Test Transactions submitted to MDOL will NOT be Processed for Payment.

Testing T ips The following are tips and guidelines to assist in successful testing:

a) Check assignment of benefits to ensure that the appropriate indicator is

reflected for payments assigned to the provider.

b) Ensure that the billing, rendering, and referring provider numbers are valid and current.

c) If the EDI Submitter is submitting claims for clinic with several physicians cross‐

referenc d to it, ensure that the proper Tax ID, National Provider ID’s (NPI) and Legacy Provider IDs are valid and current.

d) Ensure that CPT4 codes used are valid and c service.

rrent for the associate type of

e) Ensure that a 3‐alpha prefix is present for all contract numbers, with the exception of federal contract numbers, which do not require this.

837 Professional Claim Data Requirements

Files submitted to MDOL must comply with the Interchange and Application Control Structure Standards as shown in Appendix A of the adopted Implementation Guide for the 837 Professional Transaction X12N 4010 X098, X098A1.

Interchange Control Header and Trailer (ISA/IEA) Segments

The ISA segment is the only EDI segment that is fixed in length. The total number of positions in the ISA segment, including the letters “ISA”, is 106 bytes. MDOL utilizes the basic character set plus the ‘@’ sign from the extended character set as defined in the Implementation Guide.

The control number submitted in ISA13 must equal the control number in IEA02. The control numbers must always be unique on production files submitted to MDOL. Files with repeated control numbers will be rejected.

MDOL Required Delimiters and Terminators

Segment Delimiter ‘*’ Asterisk

Composite Element Delimiter ‘:’ Colon

Segment Terminator ‘~’ Tilde

Functional Group Header and Trailer (GS/GE) Segments

The Functional Group Header (GS) Segment indicates the beginning of a functional group of transaction sets. Please review Appendix A and B in the adopted Implementation Guide for the 837 Professional Transaction X12N 004010X for complete functional group header and trailer details.
