EDI Reports Documentation
Reports and Response Transactions
Reports and Response Transactions are provided to Trading Partners to enable them to track the transactions
that are submitted to NEBLUEconnect.
Each report reflects that different level of review has been completed. First, the transaction file is
reviewed and finally in the case of 837 transactions, individual healthcare claims are reviewed.
Only the claims that pass all reviews are submitted to BCBSNE for processing. Rejects can occur at various
points during the review process so ALL reports must be reviewed by the Trading Partner to determine status
of the submission. The ONLY way a Trading Partner is informed that a rejection has occurred is through one
of these reports.
Transmission Reports
These reports reflect the progress of a transaction before it is submitted to BCBSNE for processing.
BCBSNE Proprietary Claim Reports
Standard Response Transactions
Transmission Reports
TA1 Report - Interchange Acknowledgment
The TA1 Report is generated as the result of a review of the data that was transmitted
in the ISA segment of the transaction. A report is automatically generated if there is
a problem with the transaction and the file will not be processed any further. If the
ISA14 segment is a "1", this report is generated whether there is an error or not.
This report is placed in the Trading Partner's mailbox within an hour of the transmission
is there is an error or if the appropriate flag is set in the file.

which are contained in our 837 Companion Document.

BCBSNE Proprietary Claim Reports
Quality Edit Reject Report (QE)
The Quality Edit Reject Report (QE) contains the results of additional editing of claims
prior to submitting to BCBSNE for processing. At this point, claims are checked against
certain preliminary BCBSNE-specific criteria such as membership. This is the final report
of 'preprocessing' review activity.
If claims are listed as acceptedon this report, they are submitted to BCBSNE for
processing.
If claims cannot be processed, they are listed on this report with the reason for
rejection.
Resources for working with rejected claims:
The QE Report is placed in the Trading Partner's mailbox the day after the 837 claim transaction is received.

NPI Edit Report
The NPI Edit report will advise of any claims that did not make it in for adjudication
because of NPI resolution issues. The rejections could be happening because the claims
did not meet the following BCBSNE NPI guidelines or you have not notified us of your
NPI numbers.
Professional Claims (837P) (CMS) Also Dental (837D)
- Individual NPI numbers or Type One MUST always be present to successfully process
professional claims. Please populate the individual NPI's in the rendering provider
loop of the electronic file (Loop 2310B - NM1 09).
- If you also have a Group NPI or Type Two, you may populate that number in the Billing
provider loop (Loop 2010AA - NM1 09). The individual NPI still needs to be present.
(Loop 2310B - NM1 09)
- If you only have an Individual NPI you can repeat the provider information in the
Rendering loop (2310B) into the Billing provider loop (2010AA) or just create a Billing
provider loop containing the Individual Type One provider NPI. The Individual or Type
One NPI Must appear on all professional claims.
*The Tax ID is still required.
Institutional Claims (837I) (UB04)
- Type Two NPI numbers MUST be present to successfully process institutional claims.
Please populate the Type Two (Group) NPI in the Billing provider Loop (2010AA - NM1 09).
- Please be sure to use the NPI number that is appropriate for the service(s) on the claim.
For example, do not use an acute care NPI on claims billed for your Skilled Nursing Facility,
please use the NPI you assigned to your Skilled Nursing Facility.
*The Tax ID is still required.
