Calculating the Batch Receipt Date
When a file is received in the EDI Gateway, the date and time received are applied as the receipt date of the claim(s).
A business day is considered 12:00 a.m. to 4:59:59 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
- Files received during the business day are given the receipt date of that business day.
- Files received on or after 5:00 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday are given the next day’s receipt date.
- Files received after 5:00 p.m. ET Friday, Saturday and Sunday are given Monday’s or the next business day’s receipt date.
- Files received on a NGS defined holiday receive the next business day’s receipt date.
- Example, files received on Thursday and Friday of Thanksgiving will receive Monday’s receipt date.
