FAQ of the week:
Q: What transmission method do I use to submit my workers’ compensation medical bills to Texas?
A: 28 TAC §134.807(b) provides that insurance carriers shall submit medical EDI transactions using Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). All alphabetic characters used in the SFTP file name must be lower case and the file must be compressed/zipped. Files that do not comply with these requirements or the naming convention may be rejected and placed in appropriate failure folders.
