Page 13 in the IG does IMO not force you to elimiate the dependent loop, if the dependent has a unique identifier. In fact I think your client's way of doing it is more logical and consistent with all the other transaction sets. If the patient is the subscriber, identify him/her in the subscriber loop, If it is a dependent, do it in the dependent loop. It certainly makes writing a provider side system easier, if you don't have to differentiate between dependents who can be completely identified without the subscriber and those who need subscriber identification to link them to the policy number. And who tells me, that though the dependent has a unique number, the subscriber info is not needed? It might come down to trading partner agreements and therewith murky.

Dependent Loop in 270-271, Part 2 I made the following statement in an earlier posting: 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). We now have a client (an information source) who wants to use the subscriber loop for the actual subscriber, and the dependent loop for dependents, despite the fact that this client uses unique identifiers for each patient. We can certainly write the code to handle this, but I'd like some feedback the following questions: 1) Is my earlier statement (which is my own interpretation of the IG) correct? 2) If so, is there any need/value in encouraging our client to adopt this interpretation rather than their own? The transaction set can handle doing it their way, even if it's arguably incorrect. ********************************************************************** 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.
