HIPAA Parameters

The HIPAA trading partner agreement (HIPAA TPA) defines how messages are validated and the acknowledgments are generated.

A HIPAA TPA contains settings specific to Module for HIPAA, based on the wm.estd.hipaa.rec:HipaaParameters IS document types. Modify these variables to tailor how messages are validated between two trading partners and how Module for HIPAA generates acknowledgments.

Module for HIPAA provides a default TPA for an Unknown sender and receiver, which contains the default settings for all senders and receivers. You can edit this TPA or create a trading partner-specific TPA.

To create a partner-specific TPA, in the Agreement Details screen in My webMethods, define the following values:

Specify HIPAA as the value for Agreement ID.

Identify the sender and receiver.

For IS document type, specify the value wm.estd.hipaa.rec:HipaaParameters.

For more information about creating and editing TPAs, see the chapter on defining and managing TPAs in the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release.
