Note:

  • While most of the fields within the request model are optional due to variations by payer, it is recommended that as much information as possible be sent in the request in order to increase the likelihood of receiving a successful response from the payer. For more information on fields required by payer, see Quadax Eligibility Payers.

  • If the dependent has his or her own unique member ID, then the dependent should be treated as the subscriber within the request.

Payer-Generated 271

The expected result for the API response will be an ANSI X12 271 response from the payer. The 271 response will either contain the requested details based on the provided input data, or contain an AAA error response, indicating that the request made it to the payer but the payer is returning an error.

AAA Payer Response Codes

Picture

Quadax-Generated 271

The Quadax-generated 271 files look like 271 files returned from the payer, but they are generated by Quadax when an error occurs during processing before the request makes it to the payer. The Quadax-generated 271 will also have an AAA response code and will include a message describing the error that occurred, as well as “Quadax Message: Request was not sent to the payer.” This makes it clear that the 271 AAA error is from Quadax and not from the payer.
