HIPAA transactions. This enables you to quickly implement production solutions for automating the many interactions between you and your trading partners. For a list of transactions that HIPAA Link Module supports, see HIPAA Transactions that HIPAA Link Module Supports.

Validation. HIPAA Link Module provides out-of-the-box validation through Levels 1, 2, 3, and 5 as defined by WEDI-SNIP certification guidelines. In addition, you can split HIPAA data into separate files after validation so that the valid data can be reused. You can also customize messages to send to partners based on validation results. For a description of validation levels, see HIPAA Validation Levels.

HIPAA 5010 and 5010A standards. HIPAA Link Module supports HIPAA 5010 and 5010A standards out-of-the-box. With pre-packaged Integration Server and Trading Networks documents, you can easily transform an X12 document into an equivalent IS canonical document and vice versa.

Functional and technical acknowledgments. HIPAA Link Module fully supports HIPAA-defined success/failure notification of envelope errors using TA1 technical acknowledgments. HIPAA Link Module also supports 997 functional acknowledgments to communicate the validation results. HIPAA Link Module lets you create acknowledgments automatically with a validation service.

Code sets. HIPAA transactions are validated for code sets.

Error reports. HIPAA Link Module generates detailed error reports in HTML and XML formats. You can send these reports in an email message to someone in your enterprise or to a trading partner.

Leveraging existing enterprise solutions. HIPAA Link Module allows you to accept information from other EDI-based systems to populate documents in HIPAA format.

Transaction logging and audit trails. HIPAA Link Module ensures the integrity of all trading partner transactions with automatic archival of transaction messages.

CORE phase I and II support. HIPAA Link Module fully supports CORE phase I and II rules and their implementations that conform with real time transactions. The module currently does not support processing of batch transactions.
