Testing Work Products |
Background
During the summer and fall of 2002 the New Jersey Department of Banking
and Insurance brought together a team of industry representatives to develop
New Jersey based testing recommendations with specific transaction and
code set standards that comply with New Jersey State HINT and federal
HIPAA regulations. The DOBI Task Force created two subcommittees, a Standards
Subcommittee to recommend standards where applicable and a Testing Subcommittee
to develop testing protocols specific to New Jersey. |
DOBI Task Force Consensus Companion Guide
The primary work product produced by the Standards Subcommittee is the
adoption and recommendation of specific X12 transaction standards. In
addition to recommending transaction specific version standards, the subcommittee
also developed a New Jersey specific Consensus Companion Guide for both
the professional and institutional components. This guide outlines specific
standard transaction versions (segments and fields) of exactly what the
largest New Jersey health insurance carriers would expect to receive all
in one worksheet document. This document enables New Jersey based providers
to see how health insurance carriers each handle specific data elements,
which will aid in understanding the subtle and the significant differences
among carriers.

DOBI Task Force Testing Guide
The second committee created by the DOBI Task Force was the Testing Subcommittee.
This subcommittee developed a recommended testing approach attached below
based on the standards recommended by the Standards Subcommittee. This
testing guide outlines in detail how each of the newly adopted standards
may be tested before being introduced into a live production environment.
