Program Description:

After 14 years of data collection WHAIC is changing the collection and submission process for the quarterly discharge data. As discussed during the March training sessions, WHAIC staff did considerable outreach and research before deciding to sunset the current flat (text) file format and move to the standardized 837 claim file format.

This training will cover the new file format, submission changes and processes, review of the new manual, an overview of the testing requirements, and will address any questions and dataset development concerns.

This is a significant change that will be effective with dates of service January 1, 2018. WHAIC's goal is to continue to work collaboratively with data submitters to minimize disruptions.

Participants will:

1.       Learn how to use the new WHAIC 837 Companion Guide and Manual

2.       Understand key elements of the 837 file, including:

a.      What elements are required in the file and what are optional

b.      What elements must be mapped and what elements are taken directly from the claim form

c.      What the requirements are for direct data entry

3.       Understand the requirements for testing and access to the production site

4.       Learn how to review validation reports, conduct comparison testing, and complete electronic signatures

5.       Learn to download files and troubleshoot issues using the edits, FAQs and other resources available
