Yep. I can't see why the PER was cut down from X12 at all but given that someone wanted it that way it is really odd that it was done differently by transaction. You may also want to note that the PER on the 276 is on the Payer loop rather than the information receiver.
-----Original Message----- From: Martin Scholl To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 9/17/02 10:33 AM Subject: PER Segment: Email or Phone The PER segment with contact information has several manifestations within the HIPAA required transactionsets. In the 837, 834, 278, 270 and 271, I can have Email, Phone, and Fax in each of the Elements 4,6 and 8. Extension in 6 and 8. They way it should be. In the 835 I can have Email and Phone in Element PER-03 and PER-05, so I don't have to choose between the two. Less flexible then the first group, but functional. In the 276/277, I have to make a choice to either transmit the phone or the email address, because those qualifiers, EM and TE, are only valid in Element PER-03. This is an issue that should be addressed. This is an unnecessary restriction.
