Type 6 validation research requirements

Before you activate Type 6 validation in the Standards Processing Engine, first consider your requirements and objectives. Keep in mind that each additional level of data validation increases the demand on processing resources. Only enable Type 6 compliance checking where it will add value for your organization.

Using Envelope parameter settings, it is possible to selectively enable / disable HIPAA X12 validation and reporting based on the following criteria:
  • Inbound and outbound direction
  • Trading partner, based on interchange and functional group information
  • Transaction type, based on the Version; Release; Industry Identifier Code in the GS08 and the Transaction Set Identifier
