Re: 277 REF*FJ

[Martin Scholl]

Let me rephrase. Segment REF*FJ carries the Line Item Control Number.  I believe this number is rarely used, at least I have never seen it on a claim.  I thought it would be easy to put instead in there the Line Number, the one that comes with the LX Segment on the 837. This way an inquiry can reference a certain line.  Right now when I receive a status inquiry on a line, I can only find the line by comparing procedure code and charge and date, line by line, until I have a match. Or if the claimline had the elusive Line Item Control Number. It would be easier to inquire about Line 3 for example. Then I don't need to make a database search line by line, I can go straight to line 3 and get the status. Hope I am more clear now.   Martin Scholl Scholl Consulting Group, Inc. 301-924-5537 Tel 301-570-0139 Fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.SchollConsulting.com   ---- Original Message ----- From: Hal Scoggins To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 9:45 AM Subject: RE: 277 REF*FJ Coma again?

It would make more sense to also allow here the line number as the 276 does with the REF*FJ segment. Especially the unsolicited 277 should indicate which line this status information belongs to.   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.
