Title: April 16, 2003 Testing Compliance

Bryan - There's no requirement to submit documentation externally regarding testing activity.  But it seems a good idea to maintain internal records that summarize the nature of your testing activities, like a log containing dates of submission of specific test files.   And you should keep on file correspondence that you send to and receive from your business associates and trading partners regarding transactions and code sets testing.     It's also a good idea to create and maintain documentation that shows your organization's progress through the testing process - this can be an issues log that shows issue resolution over time, or a "first pass" report from a transaction validation vendor, that can be compared in the future to a similar report with fewer or no errors thanks to remediation of systems that WERE generating non-compliant transactions, but are no longer doing so :^>   Cynthia Korman, CHE Strategic System Solutions, LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED]   ----- Original Message ----- From: Hoffman, Bryan To: WEDI SNIP Testing Subworkgroup List Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 4:04 PM Subject: April 16, 2003 Testing Compliance What documentation do I need to create and who do I submit said documentation to confirming that I have begun testing with a HIPAA trading partner??  Is this still a compliance requirement??  I remember seeing compliance documentation in the past but am unable to find the documentation now.
