SolAce users please note: Our connection to IL Medicaid cannot be scripted due to the EDI system’s website structure therefore, once your EDI file has been generated, you will need to upload and download your files manually. We have a guide that will walk you through this process.

Testing

Once you have received your Submitter ID and Password from Medicaid, please call the ClaimShuttle Support Team and set an appointment for a Mailbox setup and Test Transmission.

Please have 25 test claims ready for testing. Test files should consist of a variety of claims that represent the type of claims you will be submitting once production status is achieved. Test claims will not be processed for payment but will be validated against production files; therefore, they must contain valid patient procedure, diagnosis, and provider information.
