Purpose:  The HIPAA EDI Viewer /Editor can be used to display and edit the contents of an EDI file that contains transaction sets that are mandated for use under HIPAA.  The structure is designed from the ASC X12N Version 004010 implementation guides with the Addenda applied. Pre-addenda files can be displayed but will be subject to the addenda changes. Because of that, it is possible that some pre-addenda files may not display correctly - this is due to the changes made in the addenda and is not a limitation of the viewer.  We are currently implementing 005010 transactions segment editing into our viewer.  005010 files can be viewed, edited, and saved.  However, the viewer does not check the structure or syntax of any 005010 files.  Any 005010 changes as implemented are included and free to evaluate/use until 2015    Note:  The 005010 final upgrade prices will be determined if and when the new version is available (delivery date has yet to be determined).

Pre-Installation:  The HIPAA EDI Viewer/Editor is for use on one of the following Microsoft operating systems (XP & Windows 7) with the most current Windows Updates applied.  If a previous version of the viewer is installed, it must be removed before you can install the new version. To remove a previous version, run the install program and it will prompt you to repair or remove a previous installation if one exists.  Remove the previous version, repairing it will not install then new version. 

Installation:   Double-click on HipaaEdiViewer.msi  file and the installation program will walk you through the installation process.  For client-server client installs use SuperSupport.msi for needed Windows functionalities.

Help:  When using the Viewer Push the F1 key to view a PDF document outline on how to use the HIPAA EDI Viewer/Editor.  To use Help you must have a copy of the free Adobe Acrobat Reader installed.

Viewing:   When you receive a file or want to check an outgoing files browse to the EDI file by selecting the appropriate Drive and Folder , highlight the file, and click the Select button to load and display it.  The contents of the file will be displayed within the Treeview Detail tab.  The Headers pane shows the major sections of the EDI file. To view that section in more depth, click on a line in that pane. The additional details for that line will appear in the bottom pane.  You can show or hide the underlying data by clicking on the +/- signs in the Treeview Detail panes.  If you want to show/hide the LoopIDs, go to the Settings menu and click on the Show LoopIDs menu option.  If you check the Expand All menu options, also found under the Settings menu, then all of the details in the bottom pane will be expanded to show all segments. To view the actual values or raw data for a segment, you must select an item in the lower pane.   Each field will then be displayed in its own cell for easy identification.

Error Detection:  If your file has errors, the viewer will attempt to identify what and where the errors are.  If the viewer can figure out what is wrong the EDI Files errors will be displayed in the Errors pane and you will be able to click on an error to bring up that section of the file that contains that error.   Click on the line containing the error and review the raw data displayed in the bottom section.  If an EDI file is corrupt or has too many errors the EDI viewer may not be able to parse it for display or understand what is wrong.  If the records parsed on the Tree View Detail tab does not match the segment records on the Segment Detail tab, structural errors have occurred.

Exporting:   You also have the ability to export your file into a text file with Carriage Returns added in each segment.  This gives you the ability to import  your file in a text editor, word processor, spreadsheet, or database

Printing:   You also have the ability to preview and print out a EDI file and Error reports.
