Hello John, I would very much like to sit in tomorrow but have a conflict. We are teaching Claredi training courses and are finding that several hospitals want to test and certify inbound 835, but have trouble finding payers ready to send them. So, they are using Claredi to mock-up files. Any 835's that could be contributed to the biz scenarios would be helpful. Also, any payers ready to play? Wanted to share this with the group.
Thanks!
