Step 5: Complete Testing

Once your agreement is processed you will receive an EDI submitter number, password and either Bulletin Board System (BBS) instructions or Secure-EDI instructions based on the submission method you chose.  You are now ready to test. To prepare your test file, please refer to the appropriate WPS HIPAA Companion Document.  You will need to submit a test file of at least twenty-five (25) claims that are applicable to your practice (i.e., office visits, x-rays, lab work), so we can ensure your future production claims will process in an efficient manner. Once you have created your test file, you can submit through your chosen submission method. There is no need to notify our office that you are sending a test file.

When your test file has been submitted through either WPS Secure-EDI or the WPS Bulletin Board System (BBS) we will telephone or email your office with the results of your test and either approve claim files for production, or request that you make any necessary modifications to your data and submit another test file.  We will make every effort to contact you with your test results within 2 – 3 business days of your submission.
