Important Update Regarding Beneficiary Data: Data Reversion and Delay

[Beneficiary Claims Data API (BCDA) Community]

Hello BCDA Community,

Our upstream data partner reported yesterday (December 15, 2022) that some monthly Part D contract numbers have been missing (zeroed out or null) from the weekly data loads that were received since the beginning of December 2022. In some cases, historical contract numbers were zeroed out as well. 

As of approximately 5:05 p.m. EDT yesterday (December 15, 2022), weekly beneficiary and adjudicated claims data from the week ending November 11, 2022 has been loaded to revert these discrepancies. This is the last known date that contract numbers were coming through correctly.

The root cause has been identified and work toward resolving the problem is underway. 

What Does this Mean for You?

Any Coverage data or Explanation of Benefit data retrieved from the /Patient and /Group endpoints may be incomplete and may be missing relevant Part D information.

Additionally, you may receive a 500 error system response with the following message in the JSON body for a job that your entity initiated:

Service encountered numerous errors. Job failed to complete 

We will provide an update or notice of resolution no later than Monday, December 19, 2022.

Thank you for your understanding, and please reach out if you have any questions by replying to this message in the BCDA Google Group.
