B. One method is to utilize GXS’s “information exchange” service. The “information exchange” service will allow secure electronic data transfer between the department and each insurance company. The “information exchange” service gives you the option of submitting multiple filings per day. A message class should be used when sending files via GXS to the test or production mailbox. The message class for uncompressed files is LAPS however the department no longer accepts compressed files. The following outlines steps necessary to begin participating in this electronic transfer. Assistance in implementing the insurance company’s part of this electronic relationship will be provided by the marketing and enabling support function which can be reached at (877) 326-6426. The department’s mailbox (account-number/user-id) is: “LAPS/LAPSS67” for test; “LAPS/LAPSS68” for production. Please do not send more than 50,000 records at one time. For more records, split the file into smaller parts and send these individually. Each part must contain one header and one trailer.
