Convert HIPAA 835 Electronic Remittance Advice to PDF

This blog post describes the mapping specifications and the conversion between a HIPAA 835 electronic remittance advice and a report form in PDF format.

This conversion is different from HIPAA 837 conversions because there is no corresponding standard form, such as CMS 1500 or UB04 that can be used in the mapping process. Instead, we followed the instructions from Medicare National Standard Intermediary Remittance Advice and developed a generic report form for remittance advice in PDF format, as shown below. This mapping is not meant to be final since users may want to customize the layout of the form. Regardless, this mapping specification can be served as a template for future customization. You can test the map by going to Redix HIPAA Compliance and Conversion Demo.

Some of the notes about this conversion:

  • Only if the input file 835 is validated successfully, the file will be converted.
  • Each remittance advice will be generated in a separate PDF file.
