Chapter 1: Introduction
This Companion Guide to the v5010 ASC X12N Implementation Guides and associated errata adopted under HIPAA clarifies
and specifies the data content when exchanging electronically with UCare. Transmissions based on this companion guide,
used in conjunction with the v5010 ASC X12N Implementation Guides and the Minnesota Uniform Companion Guides, are
compliant with both ASC X12 syntax and those guides. This Companion Guide is intended to convey information that is
within the framework of the ASC X12N Implementation Guides and Minnesota Uniform Companion Guides adopted for use
under HIPAA. The Companion Guide is not intended to convey information that in any way exceeds the requirements or
usages of data expressed in the Implementation Guides.
Scope
This Companion Guide is intended to describe to UCare trading partners the content and format of the Eligibility and Benefit
270/271 transaction set in the electronic data interchange (EDI) environment. The 270 transaction is used to request
eligibility and benefit information for medical lines of business, and the 271 transaction is used to respond with information
for the specified member.
Overview
The purpose of this document is to provide information for conducting HIPAA compliant electronic 270/271 transaction
exchanges with UCare.
References
ASC X12 publishes implementation guides, known as Technical Reports Type 3 (TR3s), that define the data contents and
compliance requirements for the health care implementation of the ASC X12N/005010 transaction sets. Following are the
Interchange Technical Report Type 3 (TR3s) referenced in this guide:
ASC X12N/005010X279 Health Care Eligibility Benefit Inquiry and Response (270/271) and
Associated errata, hereinafter 005010X279A1 TR3s.
You are expected to comply with the requirements set forth in the TR3s. You can purchase these guides from the ASC X12
store at http://store.x12.org/ or from Washington Publishing Company (http://www.wpc-edi.com).
Entities subject to Minnesota Statutes, section 62J.536 and related rules must follow the data content and other transaction-
specific information of the Minnesota Uniform Companion Guide for the Implementation of the ASC X12/005010X279A1
Health Care Eligibility Inquiry and Response (270/271). A copy of the Minnesota Uniform Companion Guide is available at no
charge from the Minnesota Department of Health at: http://www.health.state.mn.us/asa/rules.html
Additional Information
Both real-time and batch 270 inquiries are supported through this transaction.
This transaction supports inquiries for UCare members only.
Please note that for UCare members enrolled in Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP), MN-ITS, the Minnesota
Department of Human Services (DHS) direct data entry system, provides the most current eligibility information.
UCare will respond to inquiries for these members, but the response may not reflect the member’s current eligibility
state due to retroactivity and the timing of file exchanges between UCare and DHS. UCare recommends providers
use MN-ITS for eligibility verification for the MHCP population.

Chapter 2: Getting Started
Working with UCare
UCare offers the 270/271 EDI transaction through Change Healthcare (formally RelayHealth) Payer Connectivity Services
(PCS), clearinghouse. This guide includes the instructions you will need to establish connection with PCS to begin exchanging
standard 270/271 transactions.
Trading Partner Registration
Before submitting/receiving a 270/271 transaction, you and/or your clearinghouse must register as a trading partner with
PCS. This will require some technical effort on your part to be able to exchange real-time transactions. Please have your
clearinghouse contact PCS directly at:
CONTACT INFO: PCS Support
PHONE: 1-877-411-7271
EMAIL: chc_pcssupport@changehealthcare.com
Changes begin with PCS creating access credentials with your clearinghouse. The submitter ID and receiver ID (ISA06/08) used
for electronic claims submission will also be used as the submitter ID values for real-time eligibility transactions. Submitters
do have the ability to test the eligibility transactions.
Certification and Testing Overview
UCare recommends submitting at least one test file to ensure connectivity and data transfer is successful with PCS; however,
testing is not required. If you are interested in testing, you may contact PCS Support 1-877-411-7271 or
chc_pcssupport@changehealthcare.com. This companion guide will serve as an aid in completing the testing process.
Testing with the Payer/Communications
Testing can begin once the necessary provisioning is completed between the clearinghouse and PCS and connectivity
information is provided to the submitter.

Chapter 3: Connectivity with the Payer/Communications
System Availability and Downtime
PCS is generally available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 270/271 transaction exchange. To allow for periodic
maintenance, PCS will schedule downtime during which 270/271 transactions may be unavailable. PCS will send out
appropriate notification when downtime is scheduled.

Process Flows
This section outlines the processes associated with submitting and receiving 270/271 transactions with UCare, via PCS.
Provider/Provider Clearinghouse
PCS (UCare’s contracted vendor)
Real-Time 270 Inquiry
TA1 or 999and/or 271 Response
Transmission Administrative Procedures
Real time 270 requests must contain a single member inquiry for each transaction. In addition, UCare only allows a single
transaction to be contained within a submission as follows:
One interchange (ISA-IEA) per transmission
One functional group (GS-GE) per transmission
One transaction set (ST-SE) per transmission
Batch 270 requests are limited to 99 ST/SE groupings per transaction. Each batch inquiry must be in its own ST/SE.
Re-Transmission Procedure
All X12 file submissions are pre-screened upon receipt to determine if the interchange control header (ISA) or interchange
control trailer (IEA) segments are readable. If errors are found, a TA1 response transaction will be sent to notify the trading
partner the file could not be processed.

If the transaction submission passes the ISA/IEA pre-screening above, it is then checked for ASC X12 syntax and HIPAA-
compliance errors. If there are errors found when the compliance check is complete, a 999 will be sent to the trading partner
informing them if the transaction has failed the compliance check. The following notifications will be sent if a transmission is
unable to be completed:
Acknowledgements Description
ASC X12 TA1 v005010X231A1 (HIPAA) Response to the X12 transactions where errors are encountered in the outer envelopes (ISA/IEA and GS/GE segments)
ASC X12 999 v005010X231A1 (HIPAA) Functional Acknowledgement: A negative 999 is sent in case of compliance issues.
To receive a 271 response, errors must be corrected and the 270 inquiry resent.
Communication Protocol Specifications
UCare, via PCS, has provided connectivity that complies with the Committee on Operating Rules for Information Exchange
(CORE) Safe Harbor principle (§5 Safe Harbor) according to the CORE Connectivity Phase II Rule 270. Submitters may contact
PCS for specification details.
Passwords
As a secure connection between PCS and UCare has already been established, any passwords to protect the security of the
data would need to be established between the trading partner and PCS. PCS requires each interchange submitter ID to be
accompanied with a unique password for security reasons.

Chapter 6: Payer-Specific Business Rules and Limitations
This section describes UCare specific rules and limitations associated with the 270/271 transaction. It is important to review these as they may differ from rules and limitations required by other payers. UCare’s trading partners must adhere to the following business rules and limitations for submitting transactions in real time:
Only one transaction should be submitted per functional group.
Only one functional group should be submitted per interchange.
Member data should always be sent in the Subscriber Loop of the transaction (21xxC loops); UCare will not accept Dependent Loops (21xx D loops).
Search criteria used to identify a member includes: o Member ID, Date of Birth, and Last Name.
UCare strongly recommends always sending the member ID located on the member’s ID card. o If member ID is used: member ID and either last name or DOB are required.
o If member ID is not used: last name and DOB are required.
If no date of service is received, the current date will be considered as the date of service
When sending a 270 inquiry, using a specific Service Type Code related to the services being performed will provide
a more streamlined response. Service Type Codes that are not explicitly supported by UCare will return a response
equivalent to the Service Type Code 30 – Health Benefit Plan Coverage.
1-Medical Care 86-Emergency Services UC-Urgent Care
33-Chiropractic 88-Pharmacy
35-Dental Care 98-Professional (Physician) Visit-Office
47-Hospital AL-Vision (Optometry)

Chapter 8: Trading Partner Agreements
Trading Partners
An EDI trading partner is defined as any UCare customer (provider, billing service, software vendor, employer group, financial
institution, etc.) that transmits electronic data to, or receives electronic data from UCare, or from a UCare contracted entity.
To ensure the integrity of the electronic transaction process, payers have EDI trading partner agreements that accompany the
standard implementation guide. The trading partner agreement is related to the electronic exchange of information, whether
the agreement is with an entity or part of a larger agreement. For example, a trading partner agreement may specify the
roles and responsibilities of each party to the agreement in conducting standard transactions.
As UCare will be directly exchanging 270/271 data with PCS, the existing trading partner agreement between UCare and PCS
will cover the data being passed and shared. It may be necessary for those originating these transactions to complete trading
partner agreements with PCS. Please refer to the Trading Partner Registration section in chapter 2 for additional direction
and contact information.
