Program Area: Distributed Data Collection (DDC) for RA Including HCRP/EDGE Server
Question: If an issuer's External Data Gathering Environment (EDGE) server system does not have an Enrollment Period Activity Indicator (EPAI) that matches the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requirements, how should the issuer handle this?
Answer: The issuer is responsible for translating their enrollment and claims data into the EDGE Server formats described in the EDGE server Interface Control Document (ICD) and business rules documents. Although issuers may not maintain their enrollment and claims data in EDGE server formats, issuers have the necessary data to submit the required data to the EDGE server. For additional information, please refer to the EDGE Server Business Rules, Section 5.
