CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 24, § 50.5.2
EDI Receiver Testing by A/B MACs, and CEDI
A/B MACs and CEDI are not required to test individuals who request use of outbound
electronic remittance advice (ERA) or claim status transactions unless parties that request
receipt of those transactions request pre-testing prior to production use of one or more of
those outbound transactions. A/B MACs and CEDI may, at their discretion, require pre-production testing of outbound transactions if there is concern that specific receivers
could otherwise experience significant problems.
Even if testing is not normally required, parties that want to begin receipt of an outgoing
transaction supported by Medicare must notify their A/B MACs DME MACs or CEDI
when to begin transmission of the HIPAA version of a specific outgoing transaction.
