In the course of supporting the Availity clearinghouse for a client, I’ve changed billing_process.php to group X12 claims into a single ISA/GS/ST segment per batch. This may affect how your clearinghouse reports claim status. If anyone wants to try this, please let me know how it works for you.

I tried this and it doesn’t form correct X12. I ran the output through the validator at https://sites.edifecs.com/index.jsp?MedAvant and it failed. I had to change my billing_process.php to revert back to the old way for now. I started to investigate what was wrong with it last night to try and fix it. I think it is removing too many loop headings, not 100% sure yet.

Rod, did you also see my note in regards to the NPI number identifier needing to be changed from 34 to XX. 34 is for ssn and XX is for NPI. There are two places in the standard.pl where it should be replaced since we’re sending the NPI number.

OK, let me know what you find out about the X12 issue. I can tell you that Availity thought it was OK, but the data we tested with was not very complex.
Re the NPI ID, would you like to change this yourself?
