Health Care (HIPAA) EDI Fundamentals & Best Practices
HIPAA EDI training will be conducted by the EDI Academy in San Diego, CA, on July 14-15 2018. You are welcome to the training to refresh your health care EDI knowledge and get more HIPAA practice at the workshop.
Session One: Introduction to EDI
This session defines EDI-its origin, history, and common terminology. It also describes how EDI has evolved over the years to become a globally recognized standard for doing business electronically. You learn the roles of different organizations (X12N and WEDI) that define the Health Care EDI standard. We will also define how different health industry codes (CARC,RARC,ICD-10,CPT,HCPCS) are used in the EDI data. How EDI is used to compose business solutions in different industries (retail, automotive, transportation, etc.) is explained, as well.
Session Two: Components of an EDI Environment and EDI Communication Methods
Communications is a critical area in any EDI implementation. This session emphasizes different options (value-added networks, Internet EDI-AS1, AS2, FTP, etc.) available for moving vital data from one place to another. It also focuses on EDI enveloping and provides a sample scenario of setting up EDI communications with an EDI trading partner. Examples help you gain an in-depth understanding of how an EDI implementation should be integrated with a company’s internal network, hardware, security, and software. The second portion of this session is an overview of the personnel, software, and hardware components of a typical EDI setup.
