Re: 997 Could Be Better

[David A. Feinberg, C.D.P.]

Ken,   X12's 997 transaction is maintained by the Communications and Control Subcommittee (X12C).  Suggest you get in contact with them to suggest any changes.  Start at www.x12.org to obtain the names of current co-chairs.  You might also want to look at their just approved 999 transaction.   Alternatively, you may want to look at relatively new Implementation Guide 004050X166 [www.wpc-edi.com] as a future method for better acknowledging HIPAA health care transactions.   For [only] claims acknowledgements, there's also Implementation Guide 004040X167.                       Dave Feinberg                     Rensis Corporation [A Consulting Company]                     206-617-1717                     [EMAIL PROTECTED]     ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WEDI SNIP Transactions Workgroup List Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 7:49 AM Subject: 997 Could Be Better Once you have the right format for the 4010A1 file, you then have to decipher the 997 file. When a file is rejected, you get a line number along with a segment name.   If the segment is N3, that could be for any address on any claim. Most people have a temporary claim file that gets transmitted to the carrier. Once received, it gets deleted. I could be remade and then you can get to the line number.   Would it be possible to get them to change the line number to the loop number, i.e. 2310D? How does someone go about this?   Ken Katz ICS Software, Ltd. 3389 Long Beach Road Oceanside, NY 11572 Tel: 516-766-2129, Fax (516) 763-1017 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: www.sammy2000.com website: www.simplesam.net --- The WEDI SNIP listserv to which you are subscribed is not moderated.
