WPS EDI has an unscheduled production delay that started about 2:45 a.m. CT on Tuesday, October 13, 2020. This affected trading partners for Medicare lines of business. This impacts all connectivity’s through BBS, Secure-edi and Gateway EDI. Transactions including 999s and 277CAs are now on hold. We will provide an update as soon as we can. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Attention: Trading Partners
An issue was discovered following the October systems release installed Friday, Oct. 2, at 5 p.m. EDI claim files larger than 1.6 MB are being rejected by the Combined Common Edits/Enhancements Module (CCEM). This rejection prevents 277CA generation, and the 837-claim file will not get loaded to our backend system for adjudication. This issue has been reported to the Shared System Maintainer; there is no ETA for resolution at this time.
Please do not resend any files that did not generate a 277CA after 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2. Those files will be processed with the original receipt date after the issue has been resolved.
Until the issue has been fixed, please send files that are less than 1.6 MB in size to receive a 277CA acknowledgement.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
