Companion Document Audience

Companion documents are intended for information technology and/or systems staff who will be coding billing systems or software for compliance with the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

Purpose of Companion Documents

The information contained in this companion document applies to Wisconsin Medicaid, BadgerCare, and SeniorCare, although the companion document only refers to Wisconsin Medicaid.

The companion documents are designed to be used with HIPAA Implementation Guides. Companion documents provide Wisconsin Medicaid-specific information that details the way to create HIPAA transactions for Wisconsin Medicaid and explains how Wisconsin Medicaid creates HIPAA transactions. Companion documents clarify the HIPAA-designated standards usage but are not intended to supercede them. The purpose of companion documents is to provide trading partners with a guide to communicate the Wisconsin Medicaid-specific information required to successfully exchange transactions electronically with Wisconsin Medicaid.

Wisconsin Medicaid will accept and process any HIPAA-compliant transaction. However, a compliant transaction that doesn’t contain Wisconsin Medicaid-specific information, though processed, may be denied for payment. For example, a compliant 837 claim created without a Wisconsin Medicaid recipient identification number will be processed by Wisconsin Medicaid, but will be denied payment.

Companion documents highlight the data elements significant for Wisconsin Medicaid. For transactions created by Wisconsin Medicaid, companion documents explain how certain data elements are processed. Please refer to the companion document first if there is a question about how Wisconsin Medicaid processes a HIPAA transaction. For further information, contact the Division of Health Care Financing (DHCF) Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Department at (608) 221-9036.
