The only thing you'll see is a successful transaction.
If you deal with electronic claims data, the FastEMC ANSI Translator can help you convert almost any file type into an ANSI 5010 file. If you generate or receive (or both) claims data from another system––even an older system––FastEMC can work in the background as a 'black box' to prepare the record(s) for the standard 837 transaction.
In technical terms, we have the ability to import any ASCII format that has fixed length fields and records (eg. NSF, Print Image, ANSI 4010, ANSI 5010 or custom layout, etc). To offer a seamless translation, we provide support databases to fill out the required data for your providers and payers, to translate old codes to current codes and to provide edits that will get the data right the first time.
FastEMC uses the "matrix methodology," which facilitates data mapping. The initial mapping is done by our development team using a sample ASCII format file that you'll provide for us. This is a quick and easy setup and usually only takes a few days.
1. Your existing system would output a file that would have fixed length fields and records. Commonly this is a Print Image for a CMS-1500 form or a CMS-1450 (UB92), an NSF file or an ANSI 5010 file.
2. The file is then imported into FastEMC.
3. FastEMC verifies that all the necessary information is there to create a claim. If information is missing, then an error report is generated identifying what is missing or invalid. FastEMC's service team would work with you to fill in the missing information and set up the translation.
4. If there were any errors with the claims, they would be corrected and updated in the database. Finally, the correct information would would be exchanged the next time your software generates a file for FastEMC.
