Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to electronically generate an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) 835 transmission to test 835 processing systems. EDI 835 transmissions include vast amounts of data that are input into the transmission in a unique way. If even one space is off, the 835 transmission will not be correctly processed and may be kicked back by the system. This has serious consequences as it may result in incorrect or non-recording of a payment on a claim. Unfortunately, most systems are not tested for 835 processing capabilities before going live due to the time intensive nature of generating 835 transmissions for testing. The present application describes an innovative way to electronically generate 835 transmissions.
