The Input and Response File Data Layouts. A – The SPAP Input File. This is the data set transmitted from an SPAP partner to CMS (the BCRC) on a monthly basis. It is used to report information regarding the SPAP enrollees – people who are eligible for and enrolled in an SPAP and receive coverage through such a plan. Full file replacement is the method used to update eligibility files. Each month’s transmitted file will fully replace the previous month’s file. The business rules for use of the SPAP Input File immediately follow the data file layout itself. Please note that the SPAP Data Sharing Agreement makes reference to the SPAP Input File as Attachment A. The layout in this version of the User Guide represents the most current version of this Attachment. If the partner sends more than one SPAP Input File in one day, the system will process the files without terminating. If the first input file passes its edit checks, it is processed, and a response file is sent to the partner, per current processes. If second and subsequent input files sent that day pass their edit checks, they are added to a multiple file submissions report for review by the BCRC.
