Submitting Overview

After correcting and validating data, you can Submit. This reassembles a new, corrected EDI file in a designated directory.

Technical note          This directory is identified by the SubmitDirectory setting in Web.config.

You can submit from:

My Tasks - see Using the Main My Tasks Page

A form - see Overview of Forms

Submitting permanently detaches an 837 document from others in the same transaction set or repeating loop. You cannot re-attach a document once it has been submitted.

For example, a submitter has three claims:

1.  You correct claim 1, Save, Validate, and Submit it. That claim is no longer connected to claim 2 or 3.

2.  You correct data above the submitter level on claim 2. When you Save, TI gives you the choice of propagating that correction to claim 3.

3.  The change will not affect claim 1, since it has already been submitted and is therefore no longer attached to the other two claims.

For details about attaching and detaching, see Changes that Affect Other Documents.

Submitting an 834 audit document will submit all other documents within the same transaction set. This preserves the audit transaction intact, as is necessary for an audit. Please see Audit 834s.

A document must have a status of Valid before it can be submitted. If you try to submit a document with another status, it will not be submitted.

You can see the status at the bottom of the form or on the main My Tasks page.
