I am researching a couple of issues on the 271 vs. how we currently do business today and I am finding limitations. For example, our on-line system currently reports to a provider that a subscriber is active, that copay is required, is not required, or is met, and lists all TPL carrier information if applicable.
>From what I see in the 271, if copay information is indicated in the EB segment, then monetary values need to be reported in EB07. Since this is a situational element, my question then becomes, if we want to indicate copay in EB01, can we leave EB07 blank to indicate co-pay is required, enter 0.00 in EB07 to indicate copay not required, and put 100% in EB08 if copay max has been met and then indicate in our companion document, user guide (or whatever you want to call it) how these fields are being used? My fear is this use of these fields are against what the spirit of HIPAA is all about. Has anyone else had these issues? On the TPL information, we currently can return 4 TPL carriers and their information to the provider. I was looking at loop 2120C to report the TPL name, address, and contact information, however, this loop only repeats once. Has anyone found a way of reporting more? Thanks for you input.
