Distributed Data Collection (DDC) for RA Including HCRP/EDGE Server FAQ

Guidance for FAQ regarding Edge Server Operations and Data Submission - Enrollment File

Program Area: Distributed Data Collection (DDC) for RA Including HCRP/EDGE Server

Question: In previous webinars that discussed Edge Server performance, HHS indicated that large issuers should upload files more frequently than quarterly. What is the performance concern with the enrollment file since this is a full replacement file?

Answer: Issuers may wish to maintain the most current statement of enrollment on their Edge Servers, and therefore may wish to use a monthly submission. Regardless of the enrollment file decision, good data management would suggest that large issuers should submit claims data more frequently.
