Updates: Beginning April 4, 2025, CMS will collect information about WCMSAs through Section 111 reporting. To support this effort, related fields have been added to the Claim Input File Detail Record; note that as the current file layout is unchanged, all the not-yet-implemented codes are marked with an asterisk (*) in the field number to distinguish them from the those in the current file layout. Once they are in effect, all the asterisks will be removed and the fields that follow them will be renumbered. Error codes related to these fields have also been added to the Claim Response File Error Code Resolution Table (Appendix A and Appendix G).
Updates: The end-of-line character has been clarified for files using HEW software (270/271 File Translation).
