FMMIS 837 Professional Health Care Claim and Professional Encounter Claim Companion Guide
005010X222A2
Version 4.0

Effective April 29, 2025

Florida Medicaid Management Information System Fiscal Agent Services Project


 

Introduction

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires that Medicaid and all other health insurance payers in the United States comply with the EDI standards for health care as established by the Secretary of Health Services. The ANSI X12N implementation guides have been established as the standards of compliance for claim transactions.
The following information is intended to serve only as a companion guide to the HIPAA ANSI X12N implementation guides. The use of this guide is solely for the purpose of clarification. The information describes specific requirements to be used for processing data. This companion guide supplements, but does not contradict any requirements in the X12N implementation guide. Additional companion guides/trading partner agreements will be developed for use with other HIPAA standards, as they become available.
Additional information on the Final Rule for Standards for Electronic Transactions can be found at http://aspe.hhs.gov/admnsimp/final/txfin00.htm. The HIPAA Implementation Guides can be accessed at http://www.wpc-edi.com/hipaa/HIPAA_40.asp.

Purpose

This is the technical report document for the ANSI ASC X12N 837 Health Care Claims (837) transaction for professional claims. This document provides a definitive statement of what trading partners must be able to support in this version of the 837. This document is intended to be compliant with the data standards set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and its associated rules.
The 837 Professional transaction is the electronic correspondent to the paper CMS-1500 claim forms; therefore, any claim types submitted on the CMS-1500 forms correlate to the 837 Professional transaction, if data is submitted electronically.
All required segments within the 837 Professional transactions must always be sent by the submitter and received by the payer. Optional information is sent when it is necessary for processing. Segments that are conditional are only sent when special criteria are met. Although required segments in the incoming transaction may not be used during claims processing, some of these data elements are returned in other transactions such as the Unsolicited Claim Status (277U Transaction Set) and the Remittance Advice (835 Transaction Set).

Implementation Timeline for the HIPAA 5010 Standard

Per Federal mandate, beginning on January 1, 2012, any electronic transaction files submitted by providers to a payer must be in the new HIPAA standard 5010 X12 format.
In the interest of providing a needed transition period between the current HIPAA 4010 standard and the incoming HIPAA 5010 standard, starting on July 11, 2011, Florida Medicaid accepts electronic medical transactions in both the current 4010 X12 and the new 5010 X12 format.
In line with the Federal mandate, this transition period ends on December 31, 2011, and all files submitted after that date must be in the new 5010 X12 standard format.
 
 
 

Transmission and Data Retrieval Methods

Gainwell Technologies supports several types of data transport depending upon the trading partner's need. Providers and their representatives can submit and receive data via the Web Portal and Value Added Networks (VANs)/Switch Vendors for interactive transactions.
  1. Web Portal: Transaction files are uploaded/downloaded in the Trade Files menu on the secure Web Portal.
  2. Value Added Networks (VANs) or Switch Vendors: VANs or Switch Vendors typically support interactive transactions through a dedicated connection to the fiscal agent. VANs sign a contract with the State and have unique, VAN specific communication arrangements with the fiscal agent. A list of approved vendors is listed on the fiscal agent Web Portal.
Detailed information to assist with EDI related processes are available on the Provider Public Web Portal at http://www.mymedicaid-florida.com.
Information available includes:
  1. Trading Partner Testing Procedures (Ramp Manager) for all new trading partners, or trading partners adding a new transaction; and
  2. Web Upload/Download instructions for submitters uploading/downloading via the secure Web Portal.

File/System Specifications

EDI only accepts Windows/PC/DOS formatted files. Any file transmitted to EDI must be named in accordance to standard file naming conventions, including a valid three character file extension.
EDI allows for the upload/download of zipped or compressed files. Any data file contained within the zipped file must contain a valid three character file extension. The recommended extension is
.txt or .dat. Zipped files must not contain directory folders or structures and should contain only individual files.
Note: Only one X12 transaction file is permitted in each zipped file. Any data file that is 5MB or larger is required to be zipped or compressed before transmitting it to EDI.
The Web Portal is designed to support the following Internet browsers:
  1. Internet Explorer, version 6 or later;
  2. Firefox, version 1.5 or later; and
  3. Opera, version 8.5 or later.

Transaction Limitations

A single Trading Partner may send up to 60 transactions per minute via batch or interactive methods. Batch files should contain no more than 5000 transactions per file.
If a higher transaction volume is needed, please contact our EDI Operations department at 1-866- 586-0961 or email your inquiries to flediteam@gainwelltechnologies.com.
  1.  

System Availability

Connection will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week outside of the regularly scheduled system maintenance windows, and unless there are unforeseen technical difficulties.
Batch acknowledgement and response files will be available for retrieval for 60 days. If a batch file is needed after 60 days, please contact our EDI Operations department at 1-866-586-0961 or email your inquiries to flediteam@gainwelltechnologies.com.
 
  1.  

Connection Issues and Resolutions

TLS V1.2 Security Protocol
To avoid a connection error, the TLS V1.2 security encryption protocol must be enabled for each request.
Sample C# line entry:
System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls12 | SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3;
 

Transmission Responses

For every transaction received, there is an expected response. The available responses are an Interchange Acknowledgement (TA1) and the Functional Acknowledgement (997/999).
Once a transaction is received, it goes through a front end compliance check called a TA1. The TA1 is a means of replying to an interchange or transmission that has been sent. The TA1 verifies the envelopes only. The TA1 is a single segment and is unique in the sense that this single segment is transmitted without the GS/GE envelope structure. The TA1 segment provides the capability for the receiving trading partner to notify the sending trading partner of problems that were encountered in the interchange control structure.
Once the transaction has passed the front end compliance check it then goes through a syntax compliance edit. This edit verifies the compliance within the ANSI X12 syntax according to the HIPAA Implementation Guides. The transaction receives a Functional Acknowledgement (997/ 999) to provide feedback on the transaction. The 997 functional acknowledgement contains accepted or rejected information. If the transaction contains any syntactical errors, the segments and elements in which the error occurred are reported in a rejected acknowledgement. If the transaction contained no syntactical errors, a positive 997 response is generated and the transaction is passed on for processing.
Note: The 997 will be replaced with the 999 effective December 11, 2015.

X12N 837 Business Scenarios – Inbound Transaction

This section contains Payer-specific business rules and limitations for the 837 Professional transaction.
  1. Subscriber, Insured = Recipient in the Florida Medicaid Eligibility Verification System:
The Florida Medicaid Eligibility Verification System does not allow for dependents to be enrolled under a primary subscriber, rather all enrollees/members are primary subscribers within each program or Managed Care Organization.
  1. Provider Identification = NPI or Medicaid ID (Providers without an NPI only):
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 mandated the implementation of a National Provider Identifier (NPI). Most health care providers must register with the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System and receive a unique NPI. The intent of the HIPAA regulations was to require all health plans to convert their claims processing systems to use only the NPI for claims processing and reporting for providers required to obtain an NPI. Because of the complexities of this conversion by health care plans and providers, the use of the NPI has not yet been strictly enforced. However, Medicaid claims submitted on and after January 1, 2011, have new requirements for the use of the NPI.
Beginning on January 1, 2011, the NPI is required on all electronic transactions and paper claims from providers who qualify for an NPI. Florida Medicaid still accepts transactions containing the Provider’s Medicaid ID, but any qualifying claims that lack the NPI are denied.
Starting on May 1, 2011, Florida Medicaid no longer accepts electronic claim transactions (837, 837I, and 837P) containing the Florida Medicaid ID submitted by providers who qualify for an NPI. Any electronic claims sent by qualifying providers on or after May 1, 2011 that contain the provider’s Florida Medicaid Provider ID are denied, even if they also contain the NPI.
Please note that paper claims are not affected by this change.
For all non- healthcare providers where an NPI is not assigned, the claim must contain the Florida Medicaid Provider Number with the appropriate loops within the REF segment where REF01 equals G2.
  1. Logical File Structure:
There can be only one interchange (ISE/IEA) per logical file. The interchange can contain multiple functional groups (GS/GE); however; the functional groups must be the same type.
  1. Submitter:
Submissions by non-approved trading partners are rejected.
  1. Claims:
Claims must be submitted in separate ISA/IEA envelopes.
  1. Response/997 Functional Acknowledgement:
A response transaction is returned to the trading partner that is present within the ISA06 data element.
The Agency for Health Care Administration (Agency) provides a 997 Functional Acknowledgment for all transactions that are received.
You will receive this acknowledgment within 48 hours unless there are unforeseen technical difficulties. If the transaction submitted was translated without errors for a request type transaction, i.e., 270 or 276, you will receive the appropriate response transaction generated
 
from the request. If the transaction submitted was a claim transaction, e.g., 837, you will receive either the 835 or the unsolicited 277.
Note: The 835 and unsolicited are only provided weekly.
Note: The 997 will be replaced with the 999 effective December 11, 2015.
  1. When NM108 = 24 or REF01 = EI:
If the NM108 equals 24 (Employer Identification Number (EIN) or the REF01 equals EI (EIN) within any loop, the value in the corresponding NM109 or REF02 must be in the format of XXXXXXXXX.
Note: Neither number should contain dashes or hyphens, as this causes the data element to exceed the maximum allowed number of characters.
  1. Claims Allowed per Transactions (ST/SE envelope):
The HIPAA implementation guide states on the CLM (Claim Information) segment that the developers recommend that trading partners limit the size of the transaction (ST/SE) envelope to a maximum of 5,000 CLM segments.
Encounter files have a file size limit of 5,000 claims per ISA/IEA.
  1. Document Level:
The Agency processes files at the claim level. It is possible based on where the error(s) occur within the hierarchical structure that some claims may pass compliance and others will fail compliance. Those claims that pass compliance are processed within the Florida Medicaid Management Information System (FMMIS). Those claims that fail compliance are reported on the 997.
Note: The 997 will be replaced with the 999 effective December 11, 2015.
  1. Dependent Loop:
For the Agency, the subscriber is always the same as the patient (dependent). Claims containing data in the Patient Hierarchical Level (2000C loop) will not process correctly.
  1. Compliance Checking:
Inbound 837 transactions are validated through Strategic National Implementation Process (SNIP) Level 4. In addition to Level 4, Level 7 patient (dependent) level occurs if 2000C patient loop is received. All other levels are validated within the FMMIS.
  1. Identification of TPL:
For each claim at the header level, if loop 2320 (Other Subscriber Information) is present and SBR09 (Claim Filing Indicator) is not equal to MB (Medicare), 16 (HMO Medicare Risk), HM (HMO) or MC (Medicaid), the COB Payer Paid Amounts (AMT01=D) received in the 2320 loop(s) are summed together for the Payer Paid Amount.
Note: The 2320 loop can repeat multiple times per claim.
  1. Private Transportation:
Private Transportation providers are currently required to submit start and stop time information on the claim. This information provides a means to distinguish between services submitted for the same recipient on the same day. The X12N 837 Professional transaction does not provide the capability for providers to submit start and stop times. Private Transportation claims use two modifiers instead of start and stop times.
The values are:

 
DDiagnostic or therapeutic site other than P or H
EResidential, domiciliary, custodial facility (nursing home, not a skilled nursing facility)
GHospital-based dialysis facility (hospital or hospital-related)
 
 
HHospital
ISite of transfer (for example, airport or helicopter pad) between types of ambulance
JNon-hospital-based dialysis facility
NSkilled nursing facility (SNF)
PPhysician’s office (includes HMO non-hospital facility, clinic, etc.)
RResidence
SScene of accident or acute event
XIntermediate stop at physician’s office in route to the hospital (includes HMO non-hospital facility, clinic, etc.)
Note: Modifier X can only be used as a designation code in the second modifier position.
The Origin and Destination codes are billed together as a two-character modifier to create combinations that uniquely identify services billed on the same day. If the provider needs to utilize the same procedure code and origin/destination modifier for the same recipient on the same day, a second modifier is billed with the value of ‘76’ (Repeat Procedure by Same Physician).
Note about Round Trip: A round trip means that the patient was picked up, taken somewhere, and returned to the same place they were picked up. There are only two legs to a round trip, going out and coming back. If you made a trip with three legs (going out, going somewhere else, coming back) that is not a round trip.
    1. To bill a round trip if you bill for a base rate and mileage:
      1. Round trips will need to supply a brief description for the purpose of the round trip in CR109, Loop 2300.
      2. Ambulance Pick-Up and Drop-Off locations are required for all ambulance and non-emergency transportation claims. The Pick-Up and Drop-Off locations will be sent in the following segments in Loop 2310E and 2310F: NM1, N3 and N4. Please see pages 7-8 and 7-11 of this companion guide for details of the segments.
      3. Bill only one line for mileage (unless you have a known exception). The modifier for origin and destination should reflect the pickup point and the stop point (e.g., Home to Doctor is a modifier of RP). Enter the total miles for the entire trip.
      4. If you bill a base rate, you will send that line item once. For wheelchair-van and stretcher van, submit total charges of two times your base rate on this line item.
    2. To bill a round trip if you bill for a base rate only:
      1. Round trips will need to supply a brief description for the purpose of the round trip in CR109, Loop 2300.
      2. Ambulance Pick-Up and Drop-Off locations are required for all ambulance and non-emergency transportation claims. The Pick-Up and Drop-Off locations will be sent in the following segments in Loop 2310E and 2310F: NM1, N3 and N4. Please see pages 7-8 and 7-11 of this companion guide for details of the segments.
      3. Bill only one line item for base rate. The modifier for origin and destination should reflect the pickup point and the stop point (e.g., Home to Doctor is a modifier of RP). For wheelchair-van and stretcher van, submit total charges of two times your base rate on this line item.
Note about Multi-Leg trips: A trip that had multiple segments and is not a round trip as described above, each segment must be billed as a separate line item.
  1. To bill a multiple leg trip if you bill for a base rate and mileage
    1. Ambulance Pick-Up and Drop-Off locations are required for all ambulance and non-emergency transportation claims. The Pick-Up and Drop-Off locations will be sent in
 
the following segments in Loop 2310E and 2310F: NM1, N3 and N4. Please see pages 7-8 and 7-11 of this companion guide for details of the segments.
    1. Bill one line item for each segment of mileage. The modifier for origin and destination should reflect the start point and the stop point.
    2. All one line item for each segment of base rate. The modifier for origin and destination should reflect the start point and the stop point for that leg of the trip.
  1. To bill a multiple leg trip if you bill for a base rate only:
    1. Ambulance Pick-Up and Drop-Off locations are required for all ambulance and non-emergency transportation claims. The Pick-Up and Drop-Off locations will be sent in the following segments in Loop 2310E and 2310F: NM1, N3 and N4. Please see pages 7-8 and 7-11 of this companion guide for details of the segments.
    2. Bill one line item for each segment of base rate. The modifier for origin and destination should reflect the start point and the stop point for that leg of the trip.
  1. National Drug Code (NDC):
The NDC number is used for reporting prescribed drugs and biologics when required by government regulation, or as deemed by the provider to enhance claim reporting/adjudication processes. In order for the Agency to fully realize the drug rebate savings for claims billed, an NDC Code for the billed drug is required effective January 1, 2007.
  1. Attachments:
The PWK segment is used to indicate that supporting documents, or attachments for the claim, will be submitted. The ACN assigned to the attachment is created by the submitter. The preferred method is a combination of Medicaid provider ID and date of service. This alphanumeric combination is used to link the attachment to a claim and is defined in Loop 2300, Segment PWK06. It is not recommended to use the same ACN more than one time. Additionally, the ACN must not contain PHI. For the element summary, please refer to the Loop 2300 Attachments section of this guide and the Implementation Guide.
When claims are sent in via 837 files, the claims automatically go through EDI validation and are then are forwarded into the FMMIS claims system. Any claim indicating a claim attachment (ACN in the Loop 2300, Segment PWK06) will automatically go into a Suspended claim status. After the claims are suspended, the claims must be searched for in the Claims tab, and the corresponding attachment must be uploaded through the secure Web Portal.
Follow the Attachment Upload Process instructions below for using the Attachments panel.
Note: When uploading attachments, all documents within the file selected for upload must be associated to the claim that the ACN corresponds to.
Claims will continue to show as Suspended until each individual claim’s attachment(s) are uploaded. See the instructions below on how to search for a suspended claim. If no attachments are received after 21 days, the claims will deny.
  1. Suspended Claim Search and Attachment Upload
After logging in to the secure Web Portal account, click Claims, then click search to begin the suspended claim search. After entering the claim information, select the corresponding claim type under Claim Type, then select Suspended under Status. Next, select the appropriate option for the suspended claim under Date of Service.


Note: If the claim is older than 12 months, select Date Range. The Date Range field will then allow users to type in a date range (only for exceptional claims).
 
A Search Results panel will display below the Claim Search panel. Select the desired claim.


Once the claim information displays, scroll down to the Supporting Documentation panel. When the Control Number, Transmission, and Report Type is listed, select the row of information and click add. The information will autofill. Next, click upload.


An Attachment Upload panel will open. Select the row that displays the ACN and Attachment Description. Click Browse…, then choose the desired claim attachment. Next, click upload attachment.


When files are uploaded successfully, the Upload Success panel will display a successful upload message followed by a tracking number.


Note: To submit multiple attachments for an individual claim, users must repeat the above steps in the Supporting Documentation and Attachment Upload panels. Users are no longer required to perform a Suspended Claim Search each time they wish to an upload attachment(s).
  1. Exceptional Claim
Exceptional Claims are indicated on 837 transactions by entering the Delayed Reason code in the CLM20 of the 2300 Loop. The Exceptional Claim Form can be downloaded in the Exceptional Claim Request panel by clicking the link for Exceptional Claim Processing.
The Exceptional Claim form must be completed and submit as an attachment using the Supporting Documentation panel. In addition to the form, supporting documentation must be sent in as additional attachments to the claim.
 


Note: Refer to section 15 for Attachments process and section 16 for Suspended Claim Search and Attachment Upload process.
  1. Medicare Part C Claims:
Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) claims should be submitted with the required Medicare Part C crossover form attached. Such claims that are submitted without an attachment will be processed by Florida Medicaid, but will be denied payment.
Any Medicare Part C claims received electronically via the Web Portal or batch submission that have been flagged as containing an attachment will temporarily suspend pending receipt of the noted attachment by Florida Medicaid. By default, if the attachment is not received within 21 days the original claim will be denied payment.
  1. Transition from Special Feed to Encounter data for Rate Setting Initiative: FOR ENCOUNTERS:
  • A capitated relationship with a subcontracted service provider network where there is a downstream paid claim. In this scenario, the health plan is required to report the downstream paid amount for the service in SVD02 within the 2430 loop, and ‘05’ in CN101 within the 2300 loop of their X12 transactions. Example: a managed care provider.
  • A capitated relationship with a subcontracted service provider network where there is not a downstream paid claim. In this scenario, the health plan is required to report the health plan’s internally determined amount, calculated price, or allowed amount for the service in the SVD02 within the 2430 loop, and ‘06’ in CN101 within the 2300 loop of their X12 transactions. Example: a physician group.
  • To support the data reconciliation and encounter data completeness initiative, the health plans will be required to prepend 20 characters to the ‘line item control number’ (REF section of Loop 2400 with a ‘6R’ identifier) within their encounter X12 transaction submissions. The ‘line item control number’ to include the health plan’s prepend data will be returned within the Agency’s X12 835 response. See prepend specs below:
