USING THE PACK WITH THE DESIGN SERVER
====================================================================

The ITX Industry packs are provided in a single zip file, containing multiple project zip files. Each zip file is a Design Server project that can be imported into the server database. The project files contain maps, schemas and data files used for various industry standards compliance validation as well as examples and schemas to accelerate implementation for your business processes.

Project summaries

The following projects are extracted from the Pack for Healthcare.zip.

HIPAA – HIPAA Data Compliance – hipaaDataCompliance.zip
Contains maps, schemas and sample data for the new HIPAA Data Compliance with additional Type 5-7 validation. The maps are deployed and executed using one of the ITX API’s or with the command server to validate your data against the HIPAA 5010 Standards.  It also contains utility maps to convert legacy parameter and qualifier input files to the new JSON format.

HIPAA - Compliance Check – hipaaCompliance.zip
Contains maps, schemas and sample data for the HIPAA Compliance Checker. The maps are deployed and executed using one of the ITX API’s or with the command server to validate your data against the HIPAA 5010 Standards.

HIPAA -CMS<>HIPAA – hipaaCMS.zip
Contains maps, schemas and sample data to support the transformation and validation of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services 5010 Flat file format for Claims, Claim Status, and Payments.

HIPAA – Examples – hipaaExamples.zip
Contains examples that demonstrate how you can enrich or transform your data using the Pack for Healthcare components.  Examples include maps and schemas for the X12n Personal Health Record Example, the Claim to Exposure Tracking example, two transactions at HIPAA 8010 Draft stage, the 278 transactions for Heath Care Services Review, and the HIPAA FFE 834 Enrollment transaction.

HIPAA – Examples – X12N – hipaaExamplesX12n.zip
Contains schemas that support X12 standard integrity checking (WEDI SNIP Type 1 Validation) for a set of healthcare industry implementation guides produced by ASC X12's Insurance Subcommittee (X12N). These trees do not conform to the industry TR3s but to the base X12 standard. They are useful for data transformation purposes; they should not be used for data validation for any WEDI/SNIP level above 1.

HIPAA – Examples – Code Sets – hipaaExamplesCodeSets.zip
Contains a utility map that will load the code set database with the external code sets that we support in the pack.  This project also contains additional maps that can convert code set source files into the json format needed to load the database.

HL7 Examples – hl7Examples.zip
The NCPDP-SCRIPT/ HL7 mapping example is based on the NCPDP-HL7 Electronic Prescribing Coordination Mapping Document. This document provides mapping requirements for interactions between systems using HL7, and systems using NCPDP Script. This project also includes FHIR examples to map between FHIR input and HL7 V2 format.

HL7 Schemas – hl7EDI.zip
The schemas describe the data exchange formats associated with Health Level Seven (HL7). The ITX user interface depicts the HL7 message structure as an expandable, contractible, set of hierarchical components. The schemas enforce compliance of HL7 transmission data with EDI Standard Integrity Testing rules.

HL7 Validation - Multiple files:

  • hl7Compliance2_5.zip
  • hl7Compliance2_5_1.zip
  • hl7Compliance2_6.zip
  • hl7Compliance2_7.zip
  • hl7Compliance2_8.zip
  • hl7Compliance2_8_1.zip
  • hl7Compliance2_8_2.zip
     
These compressed files contain the maps and schemas for the HL7 Validation Utility. These maps and schemas leverage the information in the XSD schemas provided by HL7. These maps and schemas apply structure and data content rules from the schemas to the EDI data. Each compressed file supports one version of HL7.
Before building the maps in any of the projects, update the settings for the HL7in card in the hl7main map to point to one of the sample files shipped with the project for that version:
data/sample/hl7_edi_v2_x_adt_a01.dat
or
data/sample/hl7_xml_v2_x_adt_a01.xml
 Where x is the version number. Or, point to another data file to validate, that you added to the project after import.

HL7 Validation – hl7Compliance.zip
This compressed file contains the maps and schemas for the HL7 Validation Utility. These maps and schemas leverage the information in the XSD schemas provided by HL7. These maps and schemas apply structure and data content rules from the schemas to the EDI data. In this project, only version 2.7 level messages are supported. The HL7 component in the Design Studio components supports all HL7 versions for which general schema support is provided.

NCPDP – Examples – ncpdpExamples.zip
Contains maps and schemas to demonstrate the transformation and validation of the National Council of Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) Script standard for transmitting prescription information, and PACDR (Post Adjudication Claims Data Reporting) for detailed drug or utilization claim information.

NCPDP – ncpdpTelecom.zip
Contains schemas that support the NCPDP retail pharmacy telecommunications (version D0), batch data (Version 1.2), and Medicaid (Subrogation Version 3.0) interchange formats as specified by the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP).

NCPDP Validation – ncpdpValidation.zip
This compressed file contains the maps, schemas, and sample data for the NCPDP Validation Utility.

KNOWN LIMITATIONS, PROBLEMS, AND WORKAROUNDS
====================================================================

Versions of HIPAA trees to support ICD9 and Fail on Excess Trailing Spaces

The use of International Classification of Disease, 10th Revision (ICD-10) in HIPAA had a compliance date of October 1, 2015. In order to be compliant, the type trees in the HIPAA EDI Component have been modified to allow only ICD-10 codes. The HIPAA EDI stand-alone component does not enforce the actual codes, but only the qualifiers that indicate the version of the ICD in the data.

To assist with the ICD-10 transition, the following type trees are now provided in the component to allow both the ICD-9 and ICD-10 qualifiers:

hipaa_x12_type_2_icd9_icd10.mtt
hipaa_x12_icd9_icd10.mtt
hipaa_x12_ruleless_icd9_icd10.mtt
hipaa_x12_segment_icd9_icd10.mtt

In addition, if you wish HIPAA compliance to report an error on fields that have excess trailing spaces that are not needed for a minimum size requirement, the following trees are provided that have the item property "Allow Excess Trailing Pads" set to "No".

For ICD-9 and ICD-10 Qualifiers,

hipaa_x12_type_2_icd9_icd10_no_ets.mtt
hipaa_x12_icd9_icd10_no_ets.mtt
hipaa_x12_ruleless_icd9_icd10_no_ets.mtt
hipaa_x12_segment_icd9_icd10_no_ets.mtt

For ICD-10 only,

hipaa_x12_type_2_no_ets.mtt
hipaa_x12_no_ets.mtt
hipaa_x12_ruleless_no_ets.mtt
hipaa_x12_segment_no_ets.mtt

If these type trees are required, the following steps must be followed to replace the type trees in the compliance check application.

Replacing the ICD-10 compliant type trees

If both the ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes are required, you must replace the type trees in the following maps as described in the table.
 

Maps impacted Input card (number and name) Default type tree Fail on excess spaces ICD-9 and ICD-10 type tree compliance check maps
x12t2precontentcheck #1 X12_Func_Group hipaa_x12_type_2.mtt hipaa_x12_type_2_no_ets.mtt hipaa_x12_type_2_icd9_icd10.mtt, hipaa_x12_type_2_icd9_icd10_no_ets.mtt
x12t4precontentcheck #1 X12_Func_Group hipaa_x12.mtt hipaa_x12_no_ets.mtt hipaa_x12_icd9_icd10.mtt, hipaa_x12_icd9_icd10_no_ets.mtt

hipaa_x12_segment_icd9_icd10.mtt, hipaa_x12_segment_icd9_icd10_no_ets.mtt

Changes for each map impacted in compliance_check.mms

For each map impacted in the table above, make these changes:
  1. Open compliance_check.mms in the Design Studio.
  2. Double click on the executable map to select it for modification.
  3. Edit the input card for the map to point to the appropriate *_icd9_icd10 type tree instead of the default type tree.
  4. Select YES when prompted, to replace all similar type tree paths in all maps.
  5. Build the map.

Pass through maps

Changes to maps impacted in hipaa_x12_pass_through.mms

Follow these steps to change each map impacted in hipaa_x12_pass_through.mms:
  1. Use Design Studio to open hipaa_x12_pass_through.mms.
  2. Double-click on the executable map to select it for modification.
  3. Edit the input card listed to point to the appropriate *_icd9_icd10 type tree instead of the default type tree.
  4. Select NO when prompted to replace all similar type tree paths in all maps.
  5. Edit the Output card with the same number as the input card just modified to point to the appropriate *_icd9_icd10 type tree instead of to the default type tree.
  6. Select NO when prompted to replace all similar type tree paths in all maps.
  7. After all the maps are updated, build the maps.

Changes to configurable rules in the HIPAA EDI Component
 
The default input to configurable rules is:
hipaa_x12_rule_stub.mts
To avoid unnecessary updates in the internals of the configurable rules maps and scripts, it is better to RENAME the mts file that you wish to use instead. After configurable rules is run (following steps we provide in the documentation), the output trees produced will have the default names. So if you wish to maintain multiple versions of the trees you will need to rename them to include the _icd9_icd10 and/or _no_ets portions.
For examples, to run configurable rules with and produce trees that will fail on excess trailing pads
  1. Make a back up of hipaa_x12_rule_stub.mts
  2. Rename hipaa_x12_rule_stub_no_ets.mts to hipaa_x12_rule_stub.mts
  3. Run configurable rules process as documented.
  4. For the tress created in /configurable_rules/trees:
  5. Rename hipaa_x12.mtt to hipaa_x12_no_ets.mtt
  6. Rename hipaa_x12_type_2.mtt to hipaa_x12_type_2_no_ets.mtt
  7. Rename hipaa_x12_ruleless.mtt to hipaa_x12_ruleless_no_ets.mtt

Use new trees in compliance check as documented above.
