Here's one that has probably already been addressed, but I am relatively new to this list serv.
Regarding code sets from a payer perspective, are we allowed/obligated to refuse acceptance of a transaction that is not in compliance with whatever code set(s) was/is established at the time of service? If so, then aren't we obligated to check the code sets on a transaction BEFORE it enters our claims system and is adjudicated? How are other payers approaching this? Thanks Tarry L.
