Administrative Regulations
This report primarily serves as a method for trading partners to monitor the quality of their reporting to the Division, providing the opportunity to address potential issues and to improve data quality. A secondary reason is to ensure compliance with the Division’s quality standard.
Beginning July 1, 2004, the Division formally implemented its data quality standard for the EDI program. The quality standard is as follows: a minimum of 85% of all FROI/SROI reports per quarter are accepted with a TA or TE status and no more than 15% of all reports are rejected with a TR status.
EDI Quality Report
The Reports linked below will take you to an Excel spreadsheet file containing two worksheets: ‘Quality’ and ‘Uncorrected Errors.’
The ‘Quality’ sheet contains the quality data for each trading partner. The columns of this sheet are organized as follows: trading partner name, TA count, TE count, number of uncorrected TE reports, TR count, TA percentage, TE percentage and TR percentage. The percentages are based on total reports sent per trading partner for the quarter. Compare these percentages to the quality standard stated above to determine if any action on behalf of the trading partner is required (see action items below).
If you have any uncorrected TE counts, please see the 'Uncorrected Errors' sheet to see which claims contain the TE. Please make corrections using a CO report as soon as possible. All TE reports should be corrected (see action items below).
Action Items: Use the quality data to compare to the standard to determine what following action is required on behalf of the trading partner.
- If your quality report meets or exceeds the Division’s quality standard, then nothing is required
- If your quality report is below the Division’s quality standard, please submit a response to the Division within five business days of receipt of the notification email that the quality report is available. This response should contain a brief and general description of the circumstances that led to the errors listed in this report (e.g., new employee, new software, hardware issues, etc.) and any action taken to resolve those issues
- If you have any outstanding TE reports that need correction, please do so immediately
