----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Barclay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just a warning about 837s. Even if the 837 claim passes the TA1/997/824 gauntlet it could still be rejected by a 277 Front End Acknowledgment before reaching an 835. The billing should expect a response to all 837 claims submitted but the 835 is not the only transactions that can do this, even after acceptance into the adjudication system.
Has "Unsolicited Claim Status" (Front end edit) been mandated or defined yet? Last time I saw this (maybe a month ago) the IG "Health Care Payer Unsolicited Claim Status (edit report), ASC X12N 003070X070 (possibly to be replaced by 004020X030)" was not yet available at the WPC site,and the HCFA/CMS regulations had not yes defined this as a 'covered transaction.' Did I miss something? Michael Mattias Tal Systems, Inc. Racine WI [EMAIL PROTECTED]
