Testing for Iowa Medicaid
EDISS utilizes EDISS Connect for Iowa Medicaid Testing. To test for the Iowa Medicaid line of business, follow the steps below:
- Complete the registration process on the EDISS Connect website.
- Prior to submitting a test file, please allow 3-5 business days for the Submitter ID to be assigned to the NPI. The Submitter ID will be located in the Connect account for the NPI.
- Submit your test file. Please ensure there is a 'T' indicator in the ISA15 and send at least 10 test claims in the file.
- Once you have submitted your test file, you will receive a 277CA.
- If accepted, EDISS will confirm the accepted 277CA and ensure your 837 transaction is approved in EDISS Connect.
- If rejected, the 277CA will provide details of what the rejection is for so you can correct and resubmit. If assistance with the rejection is needed, you can call EDISS.
- Allow 72 hours for test file reviews.
WebPortal Additional Access
- Web Portal Additional Access allows individual users to access the IME Web Portal on behalf of a provider.
- This access will allow each individual user to perform real-time eligibility, claim status, and prior authorization requests.
- This access does not grant the user access to submit batch transactions as all batch transactions must be performed by the provider-level account.
- Web Portal Additional Access users are created and approved by the provider within their EDISS Connect account.
- Once created and approved, each Web Portal Additional Access user will be receiving a fax containing their individual login information.
