In regard to the 834 (Benefit Enrollment and
Maintenance), Loop 2200 Disability Information, segment
DSB Disability Information (page 125) reads "This segment should only be sent
when enrolling a disabled member or when disability information about an
existing member is added or changed. Use this segment to report a
disability of either a subscriber or a dependent within the appropriate 2000
loop."
However, field DSB08 Medical Code
Value states "Use DSB08 to indicate if the the reason for disability
is ESRD." The very next line reads "The only allowed value is 585 - End Stage
Renal Disease."
I can't believe the only disability allowed is
ESRD. Aren't we allowed to use a diagnosis code (Code Source 131) to
designate the type of disability. I sure get this impression
from the previous field - DSB07 Product/Service ID Qualifier.
Thanks.
