I don't know if this applies to your question, but there is a 90-day time period mentioned in the 276/277 implementation guides. It is referring to how far back a claim status request may inquire about a claim accepted into the adjudication system. I have been using this as a rule of thumb for all other transaction history.

Thus, your record retention policies for this should be based on your company's and your state's requirements for such records. Rachel Foerster Rachel Foerster & Associates, Ltd.

Other than Best Practices, is there any requirement to retain inbound or outbound files for a specific duration.
