The HIPAA OTD Library includes pre-built OTDs for messaging in all supported HIPAA versions. These OTDs can be viewed in the eGate OTD Editor but cannot be modified.
To customize an OTD structure , for example, in order to add a segment or loop , you must first create a .sef file (generally using a third-party application). You then use the SEF OTD wizard to generate the appropriate OTD from a given .sef file.
