Jim,
Jan is correct but I have found that many translators permit
implementation guides to be set-up like a standard so that 997's can
be generated based on the IG. It is prevalent enough that ASC X12C is
considering development (as of Feb. 2002 ASC meeting) of a new
transaction set to address this issue. It will be an IG version of the 997.
Originally, ASC X12C tried to modify the current 997 to include IG being used
for syntax checking, but it ran into trouble with some industry
groups.
If you generate a transaction using an IG, it makes sense to syntax check
that transaction using the same IG. The error messages generated should not
confuse the sender if they are based on the same IG, but would certainly confuse
them if based on the standard. It makes good business
sense.

Good question. The 997 is only
used to report against the standard (Mandatory, Optional, etc), not the
implementation guide (Required, Situational). X12 has been developing
the 277 Front-End Acknowledgement (for claims) and the 824 Application Advice
to report against the implementation guide. However, they are not HIPAA
mandated transactions (maybe just good business decisions).

Hi, I'm new to the listserv, so if this
happens to be the wrong location for my question I
apologize. I am trying to
get clarification on what the 997 reports against. I know that it
reports on thesyntactical
analysis of the document, but recently a question has been raised to me that
hadmade me stop and rethink
things. Does the 997
report on the syntactical analysis of the 837 Health Care Claim Professional
mandatoryfields (as I assumed),
or does it report on the ASC X12 837 standard mandatory
fields? An example of my
question: In the
manual Loop: 1000AElement: PER02 The usage on this element says it is Required,
while in the attributes it is defined as O (Optional).My original assumption was that the 997 would
report on the usage requirement thus if thisfield was missing I would return an error for
it. Is this correct, or
would I not return an error as the ASC standards have this element defined
asoptional? Thanks
in advance for any help Jim
