277/999 files are directly related to the validation of your claims.  The 999 file confirms the claims were sent in the right format, and the 277 file tells us whether each claim was accepted or rejected for processing. 

When you enroll in a new Office Ally account through Aloha, you will automatically be signed up to receive 277/999.  This help center article only pertains to customers who did not sign up previously or are coming from another system with a previously established Office Ally account.
