According to the IG notes for the LX segment - "The LX segment is required whenever any information in the LX loop is included in the transaction. In the event that claim/service information must be sorted, the LX segment must precede each series of claim level and service segments."
We interpreted "series" to mean multiple Loop 2100/2110's. Therefore we were only including one LX per 835. This approach was not questioned by the validator we are using to test compliance of our files. Our current testing partner says that they are used to seeing an LX segment (Loop 2000) prior to each CLP segment (Loop 2100) so the number of LX segments equals the number of claims included in the 835. The phrase "In the event that claim/service information must be sorted.." makes it sound like the end user can decide if they need multiple LX. Any comments to what is the correct interpretation or standard practice would be appreciated.
