Member Physician EDI Import
This specification outlines the requirements and guidelines for utilizing the interface in conjunction with the Homecare EDI Import interface. This functionality is specifically designed for scenarios where physician information must be included in the claims to ensure accurate submission and compliance with billing requirements.
The following sections outline the file format requirements and file naming conventions necessary for successful implementation and operation of the interface.

File Type: Member Physician
File Name: MemberPhysician_AgencyTaxID_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.csv
For example, if the Tax ID is 9876543210 and the file is generated on 12/31/20124 at 8:00 AM, the file name will generate as: MemberPhysician _9876543210_ 2019073190000.CSV
MemberPhysician = Hardcoded
9876543210 = Agency Tax ID
20241231 = Date in YYYYMMDD format
080000 = Time Stamp in HHMMSS format

Save the *.CSV file on your computer, and Open the file using a text editor (such as Notepad) to preserve the formats for each field. Refer to the Save Sample Templates to a Workstation section.
