EDI 999 Implementation Acknowledgment File Format
The EDI 999 transaction set is an Implementation Acknowledgement document, developed specifically to replace the 997 Functional Acknowledgement document for use in healthcare. Both the 997 and 999 are used to confirm that a file was received. However, the 999 includes additional information about whether the received transaction had errors. This includes whether the transaction is in compliance with HIPAA requirements.
The 999 Acknowledgement may produce three results:
- Accepted (A)
- Rejected (R)
- Accepted with errors (E)

EDI 999 Specification
This X12 Transaction Set contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Implementation Acknowledgment Transaction Set (999) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to define the control structures for a set of acknowledgments to indicate the results of the syntactical and relational analysis of the electronically encoded documents, based upon a full or implemented subset of X12 transaction sets. The encoded documents are the transaction sets, which are grouped in functional groups, used in defining transactions for business data interchange. This standard does not cover the semantic meaning of the information encoded in the transaction sets.
