Testing
Please contact the DOL EDI Helpdesk at 1-800-987-6717 once you receive your FTP ID and Password and confirm if they need you to send a Test file first before sending Production files. If you are required to Test, please ask their helpdesk how many claims and files they require for Testing.
Once you have the information above, Please call the Claimshuttle Support Team and set an appointment for a Mailbox setup and Test Transmission to DOL.
Please have your test claims ready if needed for testing. Test files should consist of a variety of claims that represent the type of claims you will be submitting once production status is achieved. Test claims will not be processed for payment but will be validated against production files; therefore, they must contain valid patient procedure, diagnosis, and provider information.
