Understanding data formats

All formats are built during system implementation; however, the system administrator is responsible for ensuring that any format changes are reflected in Axiom Contract Management for importing to continue smoothly.

IMPORTANT: If you do not maintain data formats in the system, you run the risk of inaccuracies in your database.

About formatting claim files for import

NOTE: UB and 1500 files are no longer accepted as import file types.

The Axiom Contract Management claim dataset is populated mainly by 837i and 837p files, which are typically provided to the server on a scheduled basis for import and recalculation. These files must adhere strictly to the 5010 standards and should be the “scrubbed” claims from the claims clearinghouse.

About formatting financial data files for import

Financial information such as payments and adjustments are imported using a format as well; however, these file types are inherently different from the 837i/837p 5010 claim files. Typically, they are provided to the Axiom Contract Management server as flat ASCII text files. Users with a Support license can build fixed-width import formats if using the Kreg Unified Importer.
