Kevin This is typical Aetna, (and others) if you are comparing a to Z I would recommend a query from a database, we parse all our 835s into a SQL server by segment, etc. and break on payer and we tie these together using primary keys, etc.. If you can get dollars to match considering the PLB segment then you are doing great! From there it is all query and reports to match if you will on names, etc. They do follow the most current x12 standards so I can't fault them there.
Good luck!

The Aetna 835 file I am loading into Meditech doesn't match the hard copy they have been sending us. Has anyone else run into this. I was expecting patients A-Z but those patients are scattered all over various electronic files. -Kevin
