RE: Taxonomy codes

[David Frenkel]

What happens if this ‘extra’ data is received and it causes a syntax error?  Do you process the transaction or ignore it?  By definition the transaction must be HIPAA compliant to process.  All kinds of fun issues.   Regards,   David Frenkel Business Development GEFEG USA Global Leader in Ecommerce Tools www.gefeg.com 425-260-5030 -----Original Message----- From: Cynthia Korman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 1:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Taxonomy codes   My read of the reg says yes, one can assume that all payers will accept taxonomy codes even though they don't require them.  Source of understanding is below.   "Section 162.925. Additional requirements for health plans." "...(3) A health plan maynot reject a standard transaction on the basis that it contains data eleents not needed or used by the health plan (for example, coordination of benefits information.)" ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Warner To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 4:18 PM Subject: Re: Taxonomy codes   Can I assume that all payers will accept taxonomy codes even though they don't require them?   Bob Warner   Robert E.
