Program Area: Distributed Data Collection (DDC) for RA Including HCRP/EDGE Server
Question: What is the availability of the test zone, what can we submit and what will we receive?
Answer: The Edge Server test zone will be available as soon as the software is available and will remain available as long as an Edge Server is operational. The test zone will support inbound file processing and will create outbound file processing detail and summary reports. Issuers will determine the type of data and files that they would like to test on their Edge Server. There is no formal test plan that CMS will require an issuer to perform. Issuers should thoroughly test their ETL process and review the outbound error file reports to identify any issues in their submission process.
