4. May 2015 Updates Florida Medicaid is implementing the X12 999 response acknowledgement file.  The 999 reports the acceptance status of an inbound file and shows whether the inbound file is accepted, partially accepted, or rejected. The 997 response acknowledgement file that is currently received by providers and Managed Care Organizations (Plans) when an inbound X12 transaction is transmitted will be replaced with the new 999 response acknowledgement file transactions effective June 19, 2015.  This change only affects HIPAA Transactions: 270/271 and 276/277. The 999 file can be downloaded from the Plan’s secure Web Portal account by selecting the 999 document type from the Trade Files menu.  For Plans utilizing SFTP connection, these files will show in the inbound folder.  Sample 999 files can be found on the Submission Information page on Florida Medicaid’s Public Web Portal.
