276 Claim Level Dates

[Martin Scholl]

The 276 IG page 86 states that a Claim Level DTP segment on a professional claim refers to the claim from and through date. What is this?  The 837P IG does not have those dates. There are then only two possiblilities: a) The 276 for a professional claim has to go the the line level, because there I have service line dates that are required.  The IG states that a DTP segment either on the claim level or on the line level is required.  But a lot of payer systems are not able to give claim status by service line. b) I will never find a professional claim in my database if the 276 stays on the claim level and gives a date for which I have no equivalent in the claim.  Since the 276 does not specify the claim type, I have to treat the claim level date as a Statement-from or -to date which is required for institutional claims.   Did anybody solve this mystery?   Martin Scholl Scholl Consulting Group, Inc. 301-924-5537 Tel 301-570-0139 Fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.SchollConsulting.com ********************************************************************** To be removed from this list, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please note that it may take up to 72 hours to process your request. ====================================================== The WEDI SNIP listserv to which you are subscribed is not moderated.
