webMethods is pleased to introduce Feature Pack 1 for webMethods HIPAA Module 6.0.2. Feature Pack 1 is a feature extension of version 6.0.2 that provides support for two additional HIPAA transactions for claims processing -- 837-Dental and 837-Professional. These transactions benefit from the same new design and architecture as the transactions released in version 6.0.2.
In addition to support for two additional transactions, this Feature Pack includes some minor fixes for Version 6.0.2 that have been rolled into this release.
More information about the benefits provided by Version 6.0.2 can be found below in the Release Notes for webMethods HIPAA Module 6.0.2.
webMethods is pleased to introduce the 6.0.2 version of the webMethods HIPAA Module. Version 6.0.2 of the Module is a special minor release that provides customer-driven enhancements to a subset of HIPAA transactions -- 820, 834, 835 and 837-Institutional.
For the 820, 834, 835 and 837-Institutional transactions, the transaction validation services have been modularized to give users more granular control over the types of HIPAA validation (Types 1-5) that they want to implement for a specific partner and transaction.
For the 820, 834, 835, and 837-Institutional transactions, the modularized validation services enable users to implement EDI Large File Handling (according to guidelines), thereby allowing users to process large, multi-megabyte EDI files.
For the 820, 834, 835, and 837-Institutional transactions, validation services for the included transactions support the Addendum to the WEDI HIPAA Implementation Guidelines released in February 2003.
For the 820, 834, 835, and 837-Institutional transactions, in addition to the standard included Validation Reports, validation errors now generate a robust set of error codes that can be used for more complex, customized Validation Reports.
Based on the new design, users should expect a significant improvement in performance for the HIPAA validation services for the 820, 834, 835, and 837-Institutional transactions.
Customers who want to deploy all HIPAA transactions together at this time should consider using Version 6.0.1. Version 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 employ different architectures and should not be implemented in the same instance of webMethods Integration Server. Use Version 6.0.2 when:
