This Acknowledgment Requested flag in the ISA segment applies ONLY to requesting the TA1 interchange acknowledgment and NOT any other type of acknowledgment, including the 997.
Thus, ISA14 DOES NOT request a 997 Functional Acknowledgment. Rachel Foerster Principal Rachel Foerster & Associates, Ltd.

This should be the case for any EDI message, not only healthcare.
