ISA15 Usage indicators are set to Test mode

The usage indicators(standard.pl ,cms.pl, x12.pl and possibly the others) are set to Test mode shouldn’t these be set to P for production.  Or better yet having two scripts wouldn’t be bad one for Production and one for Testing.

Standard.pl
$x12item=$x12item.$x12delim.uc($data);
$data="T";
cms.pl
$x12item=$x12item.$x12delim.uc($data);
$data="T";        #ISA 115 15 Usage Indicator

Thanks

I’ve never looked at that.  Let us know if you learn anything.

Some payers will look at this and if it is set to T (Test mode) will not process the claim.  As an example some payers will have an app submit several claims in test mode before allowing full submital of production (P) claims.  In fact you will get EOBs stating that the claim is a test claim.  I’m currently in test stage with a clearing house.  The change is a simple one, just edit the script and change the T to a P when you’ve completed the test cycle, but maybe adding an test item to the X12 scripts pulldown might make life easier for those who a summiting claims to more than one clearing house (some in P others in T mode).
