HIPAA 837 Institutional to UB92

Introduction - HIPAA 837 Institutional to UB92 Version 5.0
    A full map from the HIPAA 837 Institutional format to the UB92 Version 5.0 format is available to Redix XML HIPAA Package users.  This ready-to-go map is intended to help users validate the incoming HIPAA message and convert the message into the UB92 format.  

Input - Before Translation

 

Before: a HIPAA 837 Institutional File

Output - After Translation

After: a UB92 File
    The map first validates the input HIPAA message and automatically generates a functional acknowledgement message, i.e., 997. If the validation is passed, then the conversion will begin.

The creation of the line charges, i.e., 50, 60, 61 records in the UB92 format, within this map requires a complicated nested loop system.  In order to process the revenue codes properly to their respective positions within the UB92 format, this map uses the following logic:

1.  Determine which revenue codes are Inpatient, and which are Outpatient, based on the Facility Code information in the CLM segment.

2.  If it is an Inpatient claim, determine which revenue codes are accommodational and ancillary charges, based on the revenue codes in the SV2 segment.

3.  Once the revenue codes are allocated, the codes must then be counted and divided into columns, so that the codes can be properly positioned in the 50,60 (inpatient), or 61 (outpatient) records.   

Documentation

    Due to the complexity of the conversion, this map was done by using the OFD programming. Comments are inserted in the OFD to help users understand the logic. 

# OFD for the conversion from X12_4010_837Test to HCFA_UB92_50
# OFD Name: X12_4010_837toHCFA_UB92_50.ofd
# This OFD was generated by the Redix AnyToAny XML GUI Mapper Tools on: 2/21/2002

# Concept of this map is to cycle the entire incoming file in the top portion of the
# OFD script.  While doing so, data is pulled and stored into arrays.  Later, records
# are constructed in their entirety, and saved to strings, to be used when appropriate.

Integrating the Map Definition into the Project Environment

    Once the map files (IFD and OFD) are generated, the user may then add the IFD and OFD files to the production environment.
    Redix offers the ability to add a translation file to the production environment through the use of the Application Programming Interface (API). The API is supported in C/C++, Visual C++, Visual Basic, JAVA™, and command-line formats, e.g., redix. If the user uses the Redix Automation Processor (RAP), then the user can also use the RAP's API with the above programming languages.
    Redix provides a GUI to automatically generate API statements or JAVA classes that can be copied and pasted into the user's existing application environment.
Direct Engine Interface

    redix_app_ext(String input_filename, String ifd_filename, String ofd_filename, String ack_filename, String error_filename, String output_filename, char conversion_flag, char segment_terminator, char element_separator, char composite_separator, char release_char, String userdata);

Redix Automation Processor Interface

    redix_process(String input_filename, String configuration_filename, String log_filename, String userdata, String last_event_log, String last_filename, String summary_filename);

    Redix also provides a similar set of API's for those who would prefer to do the conversion using the memory approach.
