Configuring 824 Application Advice Acknowledgements

The 824 Application Advice reports the results of an application system's data content edits on a transaction set. The 824 Application Advice can report on validation errors that are beyond the syntax errors that are normally reported by the 997 or it can report the receipt of a transaction that passed validation without any errors. BusinessConnect Container Edition - EDI Protocol HIPAA Edition powered by Instream supports the following versions of the 824 Application Advice:

4050X166 generated for 4010 HIPAA transactions
5010X186 generated for 5010 HIPAA transactions

BusinessConnect Container Edition - EDI Protocol HIPAA Edition powered by Instream can be configured to automatically generate the 824 Application Advice for HIPAA transactions. The 824 Application Advice contains information on the validation results when a transaction is validated against the validation rules contained in the HIPAA Implementation Guides or Type 3 Technical Reports (TR3')s. For more information on configuring BusinessConnect Container Edition - EDI Protocol HIPAA Edition powered by Instream to automatically generate the 824 Application Advice for a trading partner, see HIPAA Acknowledgement Properties.

To use the 824 Application Advice, you must also configure the transaction properties in the Operations Editor. Example interfaces containing the configurations for the supported versions of the 824 are in the directory: bcce-edihipaa-1.0.0_InstallerFolder/samples/interfaces.

The example interfaces are named as follows: HIPAA-Ack-<interchange version>-824.csx

To explain how to configure the 824 Application Advice, the example interface HIPAA-Ack-00405-824.csx is used. Importing this interface in the Operations Editor results in the following:

00405 interchange version
004050X166 group version
824 transaction set

After this interface is imported and your trading partner is configured for automatic generation of this version of the 824 Application Advice, BusinessConnect Container Edition - EDI Protocol HIPAA Edition powered by Instream automatically generates this version of the 824 Application Advice whenever a 4010 HIPAA transaction is validated.

You could also manually configure the 824 Application Advice in the Operations Editor just as you would configure any other X12 interchange, group and transaction set. However, for the 824 Application Advice, it is not necessary to upload the guidelines to use for validation. BusinessConnect Container Edition - EDI Protocol HIPAA Edition powered by Instream knows which guidelines should be used when the interchange, group and transaction are configured as follows:

00405 Interchange Version
00501 Interchange Version
004050X166 Group Version
005010X186A1 Group Version
824 Transaction Set: leave transaction guideline empty

When configured as above, the following guidelines are used:

004050X166_824 Transaction: PDSA4050824X166.std
005010X186A1_824 Transaction: PDSA5010824X186.std

These guidelines are in the directory: bcce-edihipaa-1.0.0_InstallerFolder/samples/sampleDocs/guidelines
