The '837' has no 'control totals other than the segment count in the SE segment.. AND if sent, the "bill type summary' data in the TS3 and TS2 segments... not all of which are actually 'control totals' anyway... ...but.... The bigger problem is as Mr. Morrison describes... the HL loops. If you remove a claim for a dependent, and it was the only claim for that dependent, now that entire loop (2000C) must be removed ... but if that was the only 2000C for that subscriber (2000B) and there are no other claims for that subscriber, now you have to remove that 2000B loop... and if that was the only 2000B for that provider (2000A), well, then you have to remove that 2000A loop... and if that was the only 2000A, now you have no claims at all in the transaction set. Of course, removing HL-delimited loops requires ALL HL segments following the removed one be renumbered both for it's own ID (HL01) and for parent/child presence and numbers. (HL02 and HL04) Maybe you can find another way to do what you want to do..I have some things which can help, but 'out of the box' they won't do this.. at least not to the point where you end up 'instantly' with an ANSI and HIPAA-IG compliant transaction set.
