Jean, The esasiest for a payer, once they find a claim, is to send all the information, including service level, and let the info receiver sort it out. To answer specific line requests is practically only possible if you have the line identifier (REF*FC). Otherwise you would have to compare composite procedure identifiers, dates, line amounts and so on. This is additional effort that might not even bring the desired result. In light of this, just sending the whole shebang sounds fine, especially since there is nothing in the IG prohibiting you from doing so. I am speaking for myself, but I am sure other payers come up with the same result.

Or would they only return the STC segment at the Service Line Level, if I used the SVC segment in the 276 inquiry? Thanks, Jean Gidcumb HIPAA Project Manager Almost Family, Inc ********************************************************************** 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.
