Validating a Non-Coverge Gap Submission
About Non-Coverage Gap Submission
After importing the files into the Validata application, the lines in the file are ready to be validated against a validation set. The validation set tells Validata which validations, called Rule Sets, to perform on the data and how to handle any validation errors that are encountered. You can run any Rule Set validation on the lines in the Submission. Validata records the results and uses them to assign each line an overall status of either Included or Excluded. To learn more about validation, see the Validations documentation.
When creating a new Submission, if the analyst has opted to automate validation within the submission creation wizard, the Submission validation begins automatically without any manual actions. For more information about automatically initiating validation for Submission, see Validation Automation. The analyst can view the validation status within the Submission in the Process and results overview section. For more information about validation progress, see Validation Progress Status Details.
When the analyst has not opted for the automated validation within the submission creation wizard, the validation must be initiated manually for the Submission.
Run Validation Manually
This section describes how to initiate the validation for a Submission manually.
-
In the Validata application, navigate to the Submission menu.
-
On the Submissions page, from the list table, click the Submission Name link to open the Submission.
The Submission details page is displayed. -
Click the Run Validations card.
Note: The Run Validations button remains inactive when the file upload is in progress. When an error occurs during file upload, the Run Validations remains inactive.
-
The Run Validations is activated when at least one file upload to the Submission is completed.
-
Click Run Validations. The Validation Options window is displayed.
The Analyst can also open the Validation Options window from the Submission header section.
Click the ellipses (three dots icon) on the Submission header section. Select Validate & Options.
-
Specify the required validation options.
-
Type of validation: Whether to perform the validation using a Single Validation or a Chained Validation. The default is Single Validation.
-
The Run validation on lines with status indicates to the application’s validation execution which transactions, based on the Line Status, will be considered. The user input contains the following selectable options matching the Submissions workflow:
-
New: When the user input is selected as ‘New’, the lines with a Line Status value of New will be considered when validating the lines. The ‘New’ value was formerly known as Imported in the previous Transaction File workflow.
-
Included: When the user input is selected as ‘Included’, the lines with a Line Status value of Included will be considered when validating the lines. The ‘Included’ value matches the value of the same name in the previous Transaction File workflow.
-
Excluded: When the user input is selected as ‘Excluded’, the lines with a Line Status value of Excluded will be considered when validating the lines. The ‘Excluded’ value matches the value of the same name in the previous Transaction File workflow.
-
-
Validation set: Select the name of the Validation Set that will be used for validating the Submission. The list includes only Validation Sets or Chained Validation Sets based on the input for the Type of validation.
-
Duplicate check indicator: Specify the duplicate check status that will be considered while validating the Lines:
-
Processed: To validate the Submission Lines that were checked for duplicates previously.
-
Not Processed: To validate the Submission Lines were not checked for duplicates previously.
-
All: To validate all the Submission Lines irrespective of whether they were checked duplicates previously. This is the default value.
-
-
Publish status: Specify the publish status of the lines that will be considered while validating the lines:
-
Published: To validate the Submission Lines with Published status.
-
Not Published: To validate the Submission Lines with Not Published status.
-
All: To validate all the Submission Lines irrespective of whether they were Published or not.
-
-
Include all dates of service: By default, the Include all dates of service is set to Yes; this means all the utilization lines, irrespective of their Date of Service, will be validated.
When the Include all dates of service is set to No, you can specify the Date of Service period. That means all the utilization lines whose Date of Service falls under the specified start and end date will be validated. The utilization lines in the Submission whose Date of Service does not fall under the provided start date and end date period will be ignored during the validation of the Submission.
Select the Start date and End date of the Date of service period using the calendar widget or enter manually in the MMDDYYYY format.
-
-
To start the validation, click Run Validations.
Effective Fall 2023 RP2 HF9, when running validation from the Validation Options drawer, when the Validation Set name does not include a base validation Rule Set name, the following warning message is displayed on the user interface:
The following validations must be run before the <validation name> validation set can be run successfully: <validation names>
In the warning popup message, the user has given the following two options to choose from:
Yes: On clicking Yes, the user can run validation on the Submission without making any changes.
No: On clicking No, the user will stay in the Validation Options drawer and choose a different Validation Set.
Validation Progress Status Details
Irrespective of automated or manual initiation of the validation process, the progress of the validation process is the same. You can verify the progress or validation status within the Submission in the Run Validations card.
-
: This icon specifies that the file upload has been completed and validation can be initiated; user input is required to start the validation.

Re-Validate a Non-Coverage Gap Submission
The Validation Analyst can validate a Submission using different Validation Sets. Once a Submission is validated using a Validation Set, the Analyst can re-validate the Submission by choosing another Validation Set under the Validation Options section.
When the Validation Analyst makes some changes to the Submission once the first validation has been processed, the Analyst has to rerun the validation for the respective Submission. The Analyst has to re-validate a Submission when the following changes are made to the Submission after the first validation has been processed:
-
Including additional files to the Submission.
-
Changing the existing Mapping Set of any included files in the Submission.
-
Change the Contract Details for the Submission at the header level or at the line level.
When the Analyst makes any one of the above changes and proceeds to save changes, the following confirmation message is displayed on the page:
Click Yes to proceed with saving the changes.
How to Re-Validate a Submission
Note: Irrespective of the user selection for auto-start validation after Submission creation, the analyst has to run the re-validation manually when any changes have been made to the Submission. Validation automation only dictates the first validation that occurs after Submission creation.
To Re-Validate a Submission:
- Navigate to Submissions > Submission Name (link) > Overview (tab) > Run Validations card.
- Click the Re-Validate button.
The Validation Option window is displayed. - Specify the Validation Options.
When a Submission is Re-Validated, the user can view the validation progress status details within the Run Validations card. For more information, see Validation Progress Status Details.
Mark Submission Analysis Complete
When the Submission validation is completed, the Analyst can view the Submission Line Level details and make required overrides and status changes in the Line Level Details tab. Once the Submission validation result analysis and review are completed, the Analyst has to mark the Submission Analysis as complete to indicate to the application that the Submission validation analysis and review have been completed and the Submission is ready to be published. When Submission is marked as Analysis Completed, the Publish card action will be activated for user action.
Click the Mark Complete button. When the Analysis is marked as completed, the Mark Complete button becomes inactive, and the completed status is displayed for Analysis.
Note: When an error occurs during the validation process in the validation card, the status is displayed as Error, and the Run Validations button is displayed.
How the Run validation on line with status option works for different Submission types
This section is applicable to Spring 2024 RP3 HF1 and later releases.
When user validates Submissions with only Medical Benefit using no templates and with automatic validation, the New and Included line statuses are selected by default and disabled for the Run validation on line with status option. The Submissions move to the Review state, and error codes are stamped. For lines marked as Excluded, the users need to review the JCode conversion status and its corresponding errors, in addition to the Error Code column.
To revalidate the Submissions, click the ellipses (three dots icon) on the Submission header section, select Validate & Options, select the required line statuses for the Run validation on line with status option, and click Run Validations.
When user validates Submissions with only Pharmacy Benefit using no templates and with automatic validation, only the New line status is selected by default and disabled for the Run validation on line with status option.
When the user validates Submissions with both the Medical and Pharmacy Benefit using no templates and with automatic validation, the New and Included line statuses are selected by default and disabled for the Run validation on line with status option.
The following table summarized the line statuses selected for the Run validation on line with status option for different Submission types:
Submission Type | Without Submission Templates and Automatic Validation | Without Submission Templates and Manual Validation | With Submission Templates and Automatic Validation | With Submission Templates and Manual Validation |
---|---|---|---|---|
Medical Benefit | The New and Included line statuses are selected but disabled for the first validation run. For subsequent validations, line statuses can be selected by the user. | The New and Included line statuses are selected but disabled.
