Can anyone clarify the who the information receiver is in the 276. The 270 defines the Information Receiver as the entity who is asking the questions - physician, hospital another insurer. So if the transaction is being sent through a clearinghouse, I understand this to mean that the information receiver is NOT the clearinghouse information.
I thought I could apply this same logic in the 276, however, the 276 defines the information receiver as the entity who is expecting the response from the information source - provider, employer or clearinghouse. Therefore, I understand this to mean that if a provider sends the 276 transaction through a clearinghouse, then the information receiver would actually be the clearinghouse information, not the provider who is actually the one asking the claim status request. I would like to use the Information Receiver information in the 276 the same way as in the 270, but I don't know if I can. Does anyone else have a point of view?
