Improved Parsing of Numbers and Dates (EDI Converter Release 2.14.4)

We’re pleased to announce the release 2.14.4 of our EDI Converter.

This release provides a more complete support for parsing and converting 835 and 837 transactions.

Most notably, it introduces objects to support provider-level adjustments (PLB segment) in 835.

It also provides support for outpatient and inpatient adjudication information in 835 and 837 (MOA and MIA segments).

We’ve also improved the internal logic of our EDI parser. You no longer need to explicitly provide the splitTran parameter. The parser now automatically splits large 835/837/834 transactions using CLP/CLM/INS segments; for all other transactions, the parser will parse the entire transaction.
