1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 OVERVIEW The purpose of this document is to introduce and provide information about Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington CAQH/CORE solution for submitting real time and batch 276/277 transactions. This document will cover the Phase II operating rules requirements for the claim status transaction. The 276 and 277 transactions are used in tandem: the 276 transaction is used to request the status of a health care claim(s) and the 277 to respond with the information regarding the specified claim(s). These transactions can be real-time or batch. Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington supports both real-time and batch transactions; and returns detailed claim status information on the 277 Response. 1.2 SCOPE Providers, clearing houses, and other trading partners are advised to refer to the v5010 ASC X12 Implementation Guide for submitting the claim status inquiries. This companion guide should be used to clarify and find more information about the CORE requirements and rules regarding batch and real-time transactions, i.e. acknowledgments, connectivity, response time, system availability, and data content. 1.3 REFERENCES ASC X12 Version 5010A1 Implementation Guides: http://www.wpc-edi.com CAQH/CORE: http://www.caqh.org/benefits.php WSDL: http://www.w3.org/tr/wsdl SOAP: http://www.w3.org/tr/soap/ MIME Multipart: http://www.w3.org/protocols/rfc1341/7_2_multipart.html CORE XML Schema: http://www.caqh.org/soap/wsdl/corerule2.2.0.xsd 1.4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington currently supports both batch and real-time transactions. Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington has adopted the two envelope standards mandated in CORE Phase II. 1. HTTP MIME Multipart 2. SOAP + WSDL Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington has chosen the use of X.509 certificates for authentication. The external partner that wants to connect with Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington will issue a X.509 certificate signed by a known certificate authority (CA) i.e. VeriSign, etc. Once the certificate is issued, the external partner will provide Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington with the Distinguished Name (DN) for Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington to verify the external partner s identity when they connect to our Gateway. 6

2 GETTING STARTED 2.1 WORKING WITH OUR HEALTH PLANS Providers, billing services and clearinghouses interested in submitting 276 inquiries and receiving 277 responses for either real-time or batch to/from for Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington should contact the EDI team at edisupport@ghc.org. 2.2 TRADING PARTNER REGISTRATION Trading partner registration is required in order to submit 276 requests and receive 277 responses. Please find attached in appendices the submit request form which will initiate the registration process. (Refer to Appendix F) 2.3 CERTIFICATION AND TESTING OVERVIEW Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington requires submitting at least one test transaction to ensure data transfer is successful with connectivity using the certificate. The testing URLs are given below: HTTP MIME QA RealTime Test Request : https://dpgw-qa.ghc.org/rtcoremimeprocessing/service/request HTTP MIME QA Batch Test Request : https://dpgw-qa.ghc.org/btcoremimeprocessing/service/request SOAP QA RealTime Test Request Request: https://dpgw-qa.ghc.org/rtcoresoapprocessing/service/request SOAP QA Batch Test Request Request: https://dpgw-qa.ghc.org/btcoresoapprocessing/service/request WSDL: https://dpgw.ghc.org/coresoap/service/request?wsdl 3 TESTING WITH THE PAYER Listed below are steps to follow when testing: Provide the Distinguished Name for X509 Certification to Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington EDI Support An EDI coordinator will be assigned to work with you on the registration and testing Create test transactions (preferably good and bad requests) based on Companion Guide/Implementation Guide specifications and submit via the testing URL, either real-time or batch or both, as necessary ( Refer to Appendix C for transaction example) Retrieve, review, and validate the appropriate response (277 or 999) Submit confirmation to determine production readiness Move to production upon consensus 7

4 CONNECTIVITY WITH THE PAYER/COMMUNICATIONS 4.1 PROCESS FLOW Process flow is layered by http process, envelope, and then business process. Only when the inbound transmission has passed the outer layers to the business process will a 999 and/or a 271 response be returned. 4.2 TRANSMISSION/Re-TRANSMISSION ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES Real time 276 inquiries are limited to one status request. A response to the real-time inquiry will not exceed 20 seconds on average 90% of the time for our monthly volume. If a Real time response message is not received within the 60 second response time period, the submitter s system may send a duplicate transaction no sooner than 90 seconds after the original attempt was sent. Batch 276 inquiries are limited to 99 status requests within an ST/SE grouping. A response to the batch inquiry will be provided by 7 a.m. (PST) the following business day for batches received before 9 pm (PST) the previous day. Batch requests submitted after 9 p.m. (PST) will be available by 7 a.m. (PST) two business days following submission.
