    Has anyone encountered an issue where the dependent information for an employee does not follow the insured/employee record when running the BN106 to create a HIPAA834 file for the insurance carriers?

    It seems as though all the dependent data is there, but the it occurs later in the file and does not directly follow the associated employee/insured.

    I don't see any options on the BN106 to control this. Yet, the carriers are insisting the dependent data directly follow the insured data.

    Please help if you can...Thank you!!

      We've been running the BN106 HIPAA files for over 4 years now and I haven't run into this issue. What apps version are you on? Also - do you have all of your relationship codes defined on HR80.8? (You may have to get to that from HR04). Just out of curiosity, how are you mapping the data into the final 834 file format?

        kdcoate,

        I think we're ok. As it turns out, we were merely misinterpretting the file output. Once HR did the necessary setup and the dependents exists in HR80.8, they do in fact appear directly following the subscriber/employee.

        As for how we map the data, we had one of our interface programmers build a conversion within our interface engine. In spite of HIPAA834 being a "standard" format, each carrier did have some unique requirements. Therefore, he basically developed a separate program for each carrier, each with its own ISA/GS envelope, which we then send across to our ftp server to be sent on to the carriers.
