Except, William, that the healthcare 824 TR3 implementation guide is not yet a done deal.....plus, some of the comments posted to the health care list about it indicate there may be challenges, if not barriers, to effectively using it to report comprehensively. And of course I know that the 997 is for X12 syntax errors only. The 999, as Ruben Zaggai mentions, can be used for both syntax and IG error reporting, but the 999 is not in wide spread use in healthcare and I don't believe there is a healthcare implementation guide for it. As for the other transaction sets, they are for application error reporting, as you know, and do not report X12 syntax errors. Quite frankly, a good implementation approach would be to use the TA1, 997, 824, and appropriate application response transactions in a comprehensive architecture. Rachel

The 997 can be used only - aside from positively acknowledging receipt - to report X12 syntax errors. There is no capability in the 997 to report implementation guide (IG) or data content errors. The 824 Application Advice as used in Healthcare might be a better choice, but the 864 is common enough (even in Healthcare!). William J. Kammerer Novannet Columbus, OH 43221-3859 .

If you haven't looked at the full 997 specification, you should do so. Pay particular attention to the AK3/AK4 segments.

Normally, we use 864 for the exact error descciption. Also, ear to ear communication is a fast way to pin and correct errors sometimes. Thanks, Geo .
