EDI Tools for .NET

Lightning-fast EDI translator

Read large EDI files, split by loops or transactions, de-batch multiple transmissions, or extract data from corrupt files with a stream-based EDI parser.

Read EDI files into .NET objects
Supports batches and broken files
All readers are stream-based and async
Automatic splitting for large transactions
Automatic EDI delimiters detection

Parse EDI files

Parse EDI files to .NET objects

var stream = File.OpenRead(@"C:\ClaimPayment_837P.txt"); 
List<IEdiItem> ediItems;
using (var reader = new X12Reader(stream, "EdiFabric.Templates.Hipaa"))
{
    var items = await reader.ReadToEndAsync();
    ediItems = items.ToList();
}

var claims837P = ediItems.OfType<TS837P>();

See Examples X12 EDIFACT HL7 NCPDP SCRIPT

Intuitive EDI generator

Generate EDI files and batches and write them out to files or streams. Configurable EDI delimiters, EDI trailers, and/or postfixes are applied automatically.

Write .NET objects to EDI files
Supports batches and multiple interchanges
All writers are stream-based and async
Automatic trailers emission
Configurable EDI delimiters and line suffixes

Generate EDI files

Generate EDI files from .NET objects

var claim837P = new TS837P();
// build claim
var isa = new ISA();
// build ISA
var gs = new GS();
// build gs

using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
    using (var writer = new X12Writer(stream))
    {
        writer.Write(isa);
        writer.Write(gs);
        writer.Write(claim837P);
    }

Adhere to any EDI format

Our EDI templates define a standard way for accessing and manipulating EDI transactions. All EDI templates are fully configurable to match any partner-specific requirement.

EDI messages are represented with C# models
C# models are classes annotated with our EDI attributes
Segments and elements are shared across versions
All class and property names can be renamed
All models can be modified to match any format

Ready to use C# EDI models

[Segment("NM1", typeof(X12_ID_98_18), typeof(X12_ID_1065))]
public class NM1_OrderingProviderName : NM1, I_NM1
{
    [Required]
    [DataElement("98", typeof(X12_ID_98_18))]
    [Pos(1)]
    public override string EntityIdentifierCode_01 { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [DataElement("1065", typeof(X12_ID_1065))]
    [Pos(2)]
    public override string EntityTypeQualifier_02 { get; set; }

Comply with the standard EDI rules

Rigorous EDI validation to ensure EDI conforms to the agreed syntax rules. CAQH compliant HIPAA validation for all HIPAA SNIP levels. Generate TA1 997 999 or CONTRL

Validation rules based on attributes
All EDI models are compliant with their EDI standard
Get instant validation details for all EDI messages
Generate 997, 999, TA1, or CONTRL acknowledgments
Async validation that also works with split messages

Validate EDI files

Validate and acknowledge EDI files

var claims837P = ediItems.OfType<TS837P>();

foreach (var claim837P in claims837P)
{
    MessageErrorContext errorContext;
    if (!claim837P.IsValid(out errorContext))
    {
        var errors = errorContext.Flatten();
    }
}

Export & import JSON, XML or CSV

Convert between EDI and XML using XmlSerializer, and between EDI and JSON using Newtonsoft.Json or System.Text.Json, or any serializer of your choice.

Export .NET objects to JSON using your favorite serializer
Export .NET objects to XML using your favorite serializer
Import into .NET objects from JSON
Import into .NET objects from XML
Write custom import/export to support custom CSV files

EDI to JSON, XML, CSV

Export & import JSON and XML using the built-in .NET serializers

var stream = File.OpenRead(@"C:\ClaimPayment_837P.txt"); 
List<IEdiItem> ediItems;

using (var reader = new X12Reader(stream, "EdiFabric.Templates.Hipaa"))
{
    ediItems = reader.ReadToEnd().ToList();
}

var claims837P = ediItems.OfType<TS837P>();
foreach (var claim837P in claims837P)
{
    var json = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(claim837P);
}

See Examples X12 EDIFACT HL7 NCPDP SCRIPT

Support for Entity Framework

All EDI templates for X12 and EDIFACT are fully prepared for use with Entity Framework to automatically create, query, and maintain databases.

All models are Entity Framework compatible
Use Entity Framework Migrations to create/update databases
DbContexts are included for X12, EDIFACT, and all HIPAA 5010 documents

EDI to DB with Entity Framework

EDI to database with Entity Framework

var stream = File.OpenRead(@"C:\ClaimPayment_837P.txt");           
using (var reader = new X12Reader(stream, "EdiFabric.Templates.Hipaa"))
    while(reader.Read()) {
        var claim837P = reader.Item as TS837P;
        if(claim837P != null) {
            using (var db = new HIPAA_5010_837P_Context()) {
                claim837P.ClearCache();
                db.TS837P.Add(claim837P);
                db.SaveChanges();
            }
        }
    }

Read and write flat files

Use the exact same principles as for EDI files when you need to work with delimited, positional, or mixed-mode files, such as CSV, VDA, ERP output, or vendor feeds.

Read flat and VDA files into .NET objects
Write .NET objects to flat and VDA files
Supports positional, delimited, or mixed-mode flat files
Automatic text padding at element or segment level
Data validation using the same attributes as EDI

Parse and generate flat files

var stream = File.OpenRead(@"C:\Flat_PO.txt");
using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream, Encoding.UTF8, true))
{
    using (var flatReader = new FlatReader(reader, typeof(FlatPO)))
    {
        var result = await flatReader.ReadToEndAsync();
    }
}

See Examples Parse flat file VDA Generate flat file VDA

Keep up with new CPT or EDI codes

CPT codes are used to reflect the changes in health care, and new codes are developed for new services; current codes may be revised, and old, unused codes discarded.

Dynamically validate external EDI codes
No need to recompile or redeploy
Maintain partner-specific EDI codes
Support for HIPAA SNIP validation level types
Claims/benefits splitting to process large files

Validate external EDI codes

Validate external EDI or CPT codes

var codeSetMap = new Dictionary<string, List<string>>();
codeSetMap.Add("X12_ID_128", new List { "Code 1", "Code 2" });
var claims837P = ediItems.OfType<TS837P>();

foreach (var claim837P in claims837P)
{
    MessageErrorContext errorContext;
    if (!claim837P.IsValid(out errorContext, 
        new ValidationSettings { DataElementCodesMap = codeSetMap }))
    {
        var errors = errorContext.Flatten();
    }
}
