interface basics

#1 which of the following profile variables is required in both outgoing and incoming rte interfaces?

select one of the following (1 pt)
a. after_file
b. intf_user
c. x12_date_type
d. x12_version

Explanation:

Identify the required profile variable

In Epic Bridges and Real-Time Eligibility (RTE) configuration, profile variables are used to define interface-specific settings. The variable INTF_USER specifies the user under which the interface background processes and filing actions run, making it a fundamental requirement for both outgoing and incoming RTE interfaces to track and authorize transactions.

Evaluate the other options

• AFTER_FILE is typically used in incoming interfaces to trigger actions after filing.
• X12_DATE_TYPE and X12_VERSION are specific to formatting and parsing X12 standards, but INTF_USER is universally required for basic interface operation on both sides.

Answer:

• A. AFTER_FILE
• B. INTF_USER (Correct answer)
• C. X12_DATE_TYPE
• D. X12_VERSION
