Subject: Internet Transaction limitations?

Am I correct that web/Internet based transactions do not have to comply
with the format of the standard transaction (ANSI)
but the content with respect to the code sets must comply?

For example, when a provider inquires about a patient's
eligibility/benefits via the Internet, may I respond with information
which is from our proprietary system (such as member ID suffix)?   May
we
send back via the screen information and fields
which is not contained in the ANSI transaction, or are we limited to the
scope of that transaction, even if the format is not
required to be compliant?

Thank you,
