Greetings, User acceptance testing is widely known as "requirements based" testing from an end-user perspective. This phase occurs after system testing and before beta or trading partner testing. It is used to verify that all business requirements are functioning correctly in accordance with design, this would include executing the entire internal system and relevant interfaces to ensure that the new EDI transactions and code sets are compliant with the implementation guides and that a regression test is also successful (regression meaning that any previous functionality was not inadvertently impacted by HIPAA system changes).
In terms of the 837, you should ensure your system can accept 837 test files and process them programmatically through your remediated system. By doing this step you will ensure that your beta testing phase will flow more smoothly. Hope this helps...
