EDI Converter Release 2.12.2

We’re pleased to announce the release 2.12.2 of our EDI Converter.

JSON Changes

All 837 and 835 transactions now contain facility code (CLM05-1) in addition to the place of service enum:

  "facilityCode" : {
    "subType" : "PLACE_OF_SERVICE",
    "code" : "41"
  },
  "placeOfServiceType" : "OTHER",

JSON for 837 transactions now include attachment information from PWK segments:


    "attachments": [
      {
        "reportTypeCode": "OZ",
        "reportTransmissionCode": "BM",
        "controlNumber": "DMN0012"
      }
    ],

We’ve added SV109,SV11,SV112, and SV115 elements (837P service line):

"emergencyIndicator": "N",
"epsdtIndicator": "N",
"familyPlanningIndicator": "Y",
"copayStatusCode": "C",

We’ve also added “patient pregnancy indicator” (PAT09) and anesthesia procedure (HI*BP).

Refer to our data dictionary for a complete list of data elements.

CSV Changes

See this post for the list of changes in the CSV layout.

Command-line EDI Converter

  • You can now convert directly to Excel format, bypassing CSV. The converter defines Excel columns with correct numeric and date types, so you don’t need to do it manually when importing into Excel.
  • You can now use wildcards to convert multiple files: ediconvert "edi/837/*.edi" -o ./converted-files
  • CSV conversion now supports converting multiple files when each input file is converted into a corresponding CSV file. Previously, you could only convert multiple files into a single CSV file.

Java Parser

You can now invoke the conversion API directly from Java. This API provides the same functionality as our command line tool. Here is an example.

AWS Lambda Function

AWS Lambda function now supports conversion to CSV in addition to JSON.

License Key

We’ve changed the license key format to text. You can now copy the content of the license key and set it in an environment variable.

Old license keys with the “.bin” extension will continue to work; you don’t need to change anything. Reply to this email to receive your license key in the new format.

How to Upgrade

API Docker container

Update the image tag to repo.datainsight.health/ediconvert:2.12 and pull the new image.

The latest docker-compose file is always available in our GitHub repo.

To see the version number, invoke the about endpoint, e.g., curl http://localhost:5080/api/about.

CLI tool

  • Download the new version from this link, unzip.
  • Replace the content of your existing installation with the files from the new version, including lib and conf folders. Do not delete your license file.
  • Run ediconvert -V to view the version number; the output should contain the ediconvert 2.12.2 line.

EDI Parser for Java

Update the version number of the “edi” dependency in your build.gradle or pom.xml:

implementation "hdi:edi:2.12.2"

Note that the Java parser now requires a license key, follow these steps to configure it.
