The Create 270 BY EPISODE STATUS tab opens by default after clicking on the blue plus of the Eligibility > REQUESTS screen. Use this option to generate 270 files based on client Episode status. (Episode status is defined by the organization in Configuration > Setup > Defined Lists > Episode Status.) 

• Episode Status - Episode Status determines which clients are selected for inclusion in the 270. Use the drop-down list to make a selection. Multiple selections may be made.

• Payers - Use the drop-down list to select the Payer or Payers for which a 270 submission will be created. Again multiple selections may be made.

• Start Date* and End Date* - Both Start and End Dates are required.

  • A request is created for every client who has Episode Dates that fall within this date range, including the Start and End Date.

  • The values reported in the DTP segment do not exceed the date range entered.

  • The following table illustrates how dates are reported, assuming the 270 Request above is created and the following Clients have the matching 270 Episode Status.

• Click SAVE to record the entries and create the 270 file. On-screen action boxes will display.
