Perhaps instead of rejecting it, you could return a 271 signifying that you
need more information, such as the member id.

Subject: rejecting 270 transactions
with dependent loops
09/23/02 05:27 PM
Please respond to
transactions
The 270-271 IG is clear that if a patient can be uniquely identified to an
information source, that patient's information should be passed at the
subscriber hierarchical level, "whether he or she is a child, spouse, or
the
actual subscriber to the plan" . (pg 13). Since this is the case for all
of our trading partners, we are considering rejecting any transactions
that
pass a dependent loop as being incorrect. Can anyone forsee any problems
with this?
We clearly won't be able to handle any transactions that use the "second
approach" outlined by the IG, where dependents cannot be uniquely
identified, but since we don't trade with any such systems, I can't see a
down side.
