• I am a health plan. The Employee ID used in the CORE Master Test Bed Data does not align with my organizations eligibility system format requirements (length/format/datatype). • Can I/how do I change the member and provider information in the 270 test files to match the data in our vendor QA environment? The data needs to match our format for member and provider IDs. For example, member IDs for our traditional plan members start with a “W” (e.g., W999999999) but the member ID for task #11a (5638297_request.dat)] is 5638297 and will fail validation.
