In the implementation Guide under the 2000F Service level, the UM01 element gives you 
three choices AR - Admission Review (use to request admission to a facility) we would 
use as a authorization request, HS - Health Services Review (use to request for review 
of services related to an episode of care) we would use as an authorization request or 
SC - Speciality Care Review (use for a request for a referral to a speciality 
provider) we would use as a referral.  If this line is sent in correctly it should 
state which the sender is requesting.  This transaction is used to request and receive 
a response for authorizations and referrals.

We are now beginning work on the 278 Referral/Auth Transaction.  There seems
to be some confusion as to what this transaction is all about.  Is it just a
request for the status of a requested referral?  or can you actually request
a referral and get an authorization back in a 278?  Any input would be
appreciated.
