A hotfix is available that enables support for HIPAA 5010 standards in BizTalk Server 2009

Article ID: 973415 - View products that this article applies to.

INTRODUCTION

A hotfix is available that enables support for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) 5010 standards in BizTalk Server 2009. This hotfix includes HIPAA 5010 compliant schemas that you can build and deploy in your BizTalk Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) application.

This hotfix also includes updates that fix an issue with EDI components. When you use a "multiple" schema type to try to split an EDI document that contains multiple sub-documents, the XML files that are generated are much larger than expected. Therefore, system performance when BizTalk Server processes large EDI documents is severely decreased.

Information about HIPAA standards

For an introduction to HIPPA Version 5010 standards and to BizTalk Server 2009 support for these standards, see the following information from the hotfix release notes:

HIPAA Version 5010 standards

Version 5010 of the HIPAA standards includes improvements in structural, front matter, technical, and data content (such as improved eligibility responses and better search options). It is more specific in requiring the data that is needed, collected, and transmitted in a transaction (such as tightened, clear situational rules, and in misunderstood areas such as corrections and reversals, refund processing, and recoupments). Further, the new claims transaction standard contains significant improvements for the reporting of clinical data, enabling the reporting of ICD–10–CM diagnosis codes and ICD–10–PCS procedure codes, and distinguishes between principal diagnosis, admitting diagnosis, external cause of injury and patient reason for visit codes. These distinctions will improve the understanding of clinical data and enable better monitoring of mortality rates for certain illnesses, outcomes for specific treatment options, and hospital length of stay for certain conditions, as well as the clinical reasons for why the patient sought hospital care. Finally, Version 5010 also addresses a variety of currently unmet business needs, including an indicator on institutional claims for conditions that were "present on admission," and accommodating the use of the ICD-10 code sets, which are not supported by Version 4010/4010A1.

BizTalk Server 2009 supports the HIPAA 5010 and ICD-10 requirements

BizTalk Server 2009 Microsoft’s supports the required HIPAA 5010 schemas and also the previous 4010A1 schemas. It also supports the ability to identify the ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes within the schemas. Microsoft has been working with partners to develop an end-to-end “HIPAA Compliance and Business Processing Solution” that will facilitate 5010 compliance while enabling comprehensive and integrated business process automation, management, and reporting that can be extended to other desktop and server components such as Microsoft Office, SharePoint, etc.

Installation Instructions

Before you install the hotfix, back up the following files:

Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.BaseArtifacts.dll
Microsoft.BizTalk.MessageCore.dll
Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.Shared.dll
Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.PipelineComponents.dll

Notes

Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.BaseArtifacts.dll, Microsoft.BizTalk.MessageCore.dll and Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.Shared.dll are located at <Drive:>\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009.
Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.PipelineComponents.dll is located at <Drive:>\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009\Pipeline Components.

To install this hotfix, follow these steps:

Extract the hotfix package, and run the Setup.exe file.
In the BizTalk Server Administration Console, expand BizTalk Server 2009 Administration, expand BizTalk Group, expand Applications, expand BizTalk EDI Application, expand Resources, and then remove the Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.BaseArtifacts assembly from this directory.
Restart the BizTalk host instance.
In the same Resources directory that was mentioned in step 2, right-click Resources, click Add, and then click BizTalk Assemblies.
In the Add Resources dialog box, click Add, and then browse to the following directory:
<Drive:>\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009
In this directory, double-click the Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.BaseArtifacts.dll file.
Restart the BizTalk host instance.
Run the MicrosoftEdiXSDTemplatesKb973415.exe file that is in this hotfix package to self-extract the latest set of HIPAA5010-compliant schemas. Save them to the following suggested directory:
<Drive:>\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009\XSD_Schema\EDI
You can then follow the standard procedure for building and deploying schemas.

For more information, refer to the Readme.txt file that is contained in this hotfix package.

Important notes

In HIPAA 4010 schemas, elements of the X12_R type are not checked for minimum and maximum lengths. However, HIPAA 5010 guarantees that minimum and maximum lengths are checked.
The ST03 elements in the following schemas are not supposed to be changed because their values are used to identify the correct variant schemas:
- 837 variants (I, P, D)
- 277
This is a HIPAA 5010 standard.
