TR3 Notes:
  1. For compliant implementations under this implementation guide, ISA13, the interchange Control Number, must be a positive unsigned number. Therefore, the ISA segment can be considered a fixed record length segment.
  2. The first element separator defines the element separator to be used through the entire interchange.
  3. Spaces in the example interchanges are represented by "." for clarity.
  4. The ISA segment terminator defines the segment terminator used throughout the entire interchange.
  5. All positions within each of the data elements must be filled.

HL - SUBSCRIBER LEVEL

X12 Name:
Hierarchical Level
X12 Purpose:
To identify dependencies among and the content of hierarchically related groups of data segments
X12 Comments:
  1. The HL segment is used to identify levels of detail information using a hierarchical structure, such as relating line-item data to shipment data, and packaging data to line-item data.
  2. The HL segment defines a top-down/left-right ordered structure.
Loop:
Loop Usage:
Situational
Segment Usage:
Required
Segment Repeat:
1
Situational Rule:
Required when inquiring on the status of authorizations for a specific patient. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
TR3 Notes:
  1. The Subscriber Hierarchical level (Loop 2000C) is required if the inquiry concerns authorizations for a specific patient. Situational use of this segment enables the requester to create an inquiry that does not specify the name or member information for each patient. If the requester omits this loop on the inquiry, the requester can inquire on the status of all the health care services review requests for which the provider is the original requesting provider, the patient event/service provider, or primary care provider of record for the patient(s).

    For the UMO to respond to this type of inquiry, the UMO must provide other methods of access to authorizations on file in addition to access by member ID. This guide does not require UMOs to support this level of inquiry. Support at this level is at the discretion of the UMO. The UMO must authenticate that the entity initiating the inquiry has a relationship with this patient that authorizes the requester to receive this information.
  2. This segment indicates the subscriber hierarchical level. This segment corresponds to the identification of the subscriber or individual insured member. The subscriber could also be the patient. If the subscriber is the patient or the patient has a unique insurance identifier, the dependent hierarchical level (Loop 2000D) is not used.
  3. A transaction submitted in real-time mode can inquire on a maximum of one patient. A transaction submitted in batch mode can contain a maximum of ninety-nine patient requests. Each patient is defined as either one subscriber loop if the member is the patient, or one subscriber loop and one dependent loop if the dependent is the patient.
  4. Patient Event Loop 2000E must be valued if Loop 2000C is not valued.

  2. The Member Identification Number (NM108/NM109) is required and may be adequate to identify the subscriber to the UMO. However, the UMO can require additional information. The maximum data elements that the UMO can require to identify the subscriber, in addition to the member ID are as follows:
    Subscriber Last Name (NM103)
    Subscriber First Name (NM104)
    Subscriber Birth Date (DMG01 and DMG02)
  3. Refer to the subsection Identifying the Subscriber/Patient within Section 1.11.2 Patient (Loop 2000C and Loop 2000D) for specific information on how to identify an individual to a UMO.

HL - DEPENDENT LEVEL

X12 Name:
Hierarchical Level
X12 Purpose:
To identify dependencies among and the content of hierarchically related groups of data segments
X12 Comments:
  1. The HL segment is used to identify levels of detail information using a hierarchical structure, such as relating line-item data to shipment data, and packaging data to line-item data.
  2. The HL segment defines a top-down/left-right ordered structure.
Loop:

Situational Rule:
Required when inquiring on the status of authorizations for a specific patient who is someone other than the subscriber and the patient does not have a unique (different from the subscriber) member ID. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
TR3 Notes:
  1. If the patient has a unique member ID, use Loop 2000C to identify the patient.
  2. A transaction submitted in real-time mode can inquire on a maximum of one patient. A transaction submitted in batch mode can contain a maximum of ninety-nine patient requests. Each patient is defined as either one subscriber loop if the member is the patient, or one subscriber loop and one dependent loop if the dependent is the patient.

Segment Usage:
Required
Segment Repeat:

Situational Rule:
This loop is required when (1) this is a global inquiry and the Patient loop (2000C or 2000D) is not valued, or when (2) the requester wants to limit the inquiry to service reviews for a specific patient event or patient event provider associated with the patient identified, or when (3) this is a patient inquiry and the Service loop (2000F) is not valued. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
TR3 Notes:
  1. The Patient Event level enables you to further qualify your inquiry. Use this loop to identify an existing patient event level authorization associated with this inquiry.
  2. When you use this loop on the inquiry, you limit the range of authorizations that meet the specifications entered. Use of this loop also ensures that the response from the UMO contains only those authorizations that meet the criteria you provided.
  3. A transaction submitted in real time mode can contain a maximum of one global inquiry. A transaction submitted in batch mode can contain a maximum of five global inquiries. Refer to section 1.4.2 for a description of global inquiry.

Abstract

The Health Care Services Review Inquiry and Response Implementation Guide describes the use of the X12 Health Care Services Review Information (278) transaction set for the following business usages:

  • Make inquiries to utilization management organizations for information on previously processed health care services
  • Send response(s) to inquiry(ies) on previously processed health care services

Preface

X12 standards are developed to identify the broadest data requirements for a transaction set. Type 3 Technical Reports (TR3), also known as implementation guides, define the explicit data requirements for a specific business purpose. Trading partners who implement according to the instructions in this TR3 can exchange data consistently with multiple trading partners.

As X12 does not define transport requirements, trading partners define their specific transport requirements separately.

1.1 Implementation Purpose and Scope

For the health care industry to achieve the potential administrative cost savings with Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), standards have been developed to facilitate consistent implementation by all organizations. To facilitate a smooth transition into the EDI environment, uniform implementation is critical.

The purpose of this implementation guide is to provide standardized data requirements and content for all users who inquire on authorizations or certifications or who respond to such inquiries using the X12, Health Care Services Review Information (278). This implementation guide provides a detailed explanation of the transaction set by defining data content, identifying valid code tables, and specifying values that are applicable for electronic health care service review inquiries and responses. The intention of the developers of the 278 is represented in this guide.

This implementation guide is designed to assist providers who inquire about certification decisions (specialty care, treatment, admission) and the Utilization Management Organizations (UMO) who respond to those inquiries using the 278 format. In the context of this implementation guide, an inquiry refers to a transaction that asks for information on previously processed requests for authorization or certification.

1.2 Version Information

This implementation guide is based on the October 2020 X12 standards, referred to as Version 8, Release 2 (008020).

The unique Version/Release/Industry Identifier Code for transaction sets that are defined by this implementation guide is 008020X327.

The two-character Functional Identifier Code for the transaction set included in this implementation guide:

  • HI   Health Care Services Review Information (278)

The Version/Release/Industry Identifier Code and the applicable Functional Identifier Code must be transmitted in the Functional Group Header (GS segment) that begins a functional group of these transaction sets. For more information, see the descriptions of GS01 and GS08 in Appendix C EDI Control Directory.

1.3.1 Batch and Real-Time Usage

There are multiple methods available for sending and receiving business transactions electronically. Two common modes for EDI transactions are batch and real-time.

Batch - In a batch mode the sender does not remain connected while the receiver processes the transactions. Processing is usually completed according to a set schedule. If there is an associated business response transaction (such as a 271 Response to a 270 Request for Eligibility), the receiver creates the response transaction and stores it for future delivery or transmits the response transaction back to the sender of the original transaction. The sender of the original transmission reconnects at a later time and picks up the response transaction. Note: The sender of the original transmission may not always be the entity that picks up the response transaction at a later time (e.g. Provider submitting through a clearinghouse.)

Real-Time - In real-time mode the sender remains connected while the receiver processes the transactions and returns a response transaction to the sender. This implementation guide does not set specific response time parameters for implementers.

This implementation guide was based on requirements for batch mode. Willing trading partners may use batch or real-time mode.

1.3.2 Other Usage Limitations

Real-Time Delivery of the 278
This implementation guide requires the use of a separate 278 inquiry transaction (ST to SE) for each real-time patient event inquiry or global inquiry as defined in Section 1.4.2 - Business Events Supported in this Guide - Inquiry and Response.

If the UMO system cannot process the 278 inquiry transaction upon receipt, the UMO system must return a 278 inquiry response transaction to indicate the reason for rejecting the transaction.

Batch Delivery of the 278
In batch mode, the 278 inquiry transaction can include one or more patient event or global inquiries from the requester to the UMO. This implementation guide requires that the batch 278 inquiry transaction include no more than 99 patient event inquiries or 5 global inquiries per 278 inquiry transaction (ST to SE).

1.4 Business Usage

The 278 has the flexibility to accommodate the exchange of information between providers and review entities. This section introduces the business events and processes associated with the 278.

1.4.1 Health Care Transaction Flow

Each X12 implementation guide explains how to use X12 transaction sets to meet a single defined business purpose. The diagrams found at https://www.x12.org/flow depict the business functions supported by the X12 health care implementation guides.

1.4.2 Business Events Supported in this Guide - Inquiry and Response

The 278 Health Care Services Review - Inquiry and Response handles informational inquiries and their related responses. It enables a participant to inquire about existing certifications and authorizations. As illustrated in Figure 1.1 - Health Care Services Review - Inquiry and Response, the primary participants are providers and UMOs where the entity inquiring is either the primary provider or the service provider.

Figure 1.1 - Health Care Services Review - Inquiry and Response

Health Care Services Review - Inquiry and Response

The following are examples of business events supported by this implementation. These events are all examples of inquiries to obtain complete referral or certification information for 278 service review requests previously processed.

Specialty Care Referral Inquiry
A specialist has not received a referral for a patient who has arrived for an appointment. The specialist sends a 278 inquiry to the UMO to verify that an approved referral exists for this patient. The UMO uses the 278 to transmit an inquiry response, listing one or more previous referral review decisions, back to the requesting provider. The health care provider can also use this inquiry when a patient is scheduled to arrive and the referral authorization information is not available.

Admission Certification Inquiry
A patient arrives or is scheduled to arrive for a hospital admission, and the pre-admission certification information previously requested from the UMO by the primary care provider (PCP) is not available. The provider uses the 278 inquiry to verify that the patient's primary care provider received certification for the admission. The UMO uses the 278 inquiry response to transmit any available admission certification information to the requesting provider.

Health Care Service Certification Inquiries
A patient is scheduled to receive a series of services or supplies; for example physical therapy and equipment for home exercises. The physical therapist has no certification information available and uses the 278 inquiry to verify that the services previously requested from the UMO by the PCP or specialist are authorized. The UMO returns the appropriate certification information in the 278 inquiry response.

All Patient Certifications Inquiry
The 278 inquiry enables the requester to determine the range of review activity associated with a specific patient to be included on the response. Some examples follow.

  • A provider inquires on all certifications (within a date range) for one patient from a UMO. This implementation would typically be used when a PCP wants to see all review activity (within a date range) with a UMO for one of his patients.
  • A provider (such as a hospital, clinic, group practice, or physician) can inquire on all certifications from a UMO where the current requesting provider was the original requesting provider for a specific patient. If the inquiry does not specify a date range, the UMO might limit the number of certifications that qualify for inclusion in the response. For example, the UMO might limit the response to the five most recent certifications.
  • A provider inquires on all review activities (referrals and certifications) from a UMO where the current requesting provider is the patient event provider or service provider for a specific patient. Based on the review entity's rules, the provider may have authority to view only some of that activity.

NOTE
Implementers of the 278 Inquiry and Response must establish response content criteria based on the identity of the requesting entity. For example, UMOs might limit the response to a specialist to those services that pertain to the specialist's treatment of the patient only and not return any additional authorization information associated with the patient event.

Multiple Patients Certification Inquiry
The 278 inquiry provides limited support for inquiring on multiple certifications for multiple patients. In this type of inquiry, the requester uses a single transaction to inquire on the status of authorizations for more than one patient. Three scenarios illustrating the use of the multiple patients inquiry follow.

  • A number of patients are scheduled for appointments with a specialist on a specific day. The specialist's office needs to determine if these patients have authorizations from the UMO for the specialist visit. The specialist's office submits a batch inquiry transaction, listing each of the patients scheduled. The inquiry must include the appropriate member ID information for each patient and the inquiring provider must be associated to the members' event history on the inquiry. Additional information, such as the service(s) to be performed, may help to limit the number of patient event authorizations returned per patient on the response.
  • A provider has submitted service review requests for several patients for which he has not received final responses. The provider inquires on the status of these requests. The provider submits a batch inquiry transaction listing each patient for which he has not received a final services review response. The inquiry must include the appropriate member ID information for each patient and the inquiring provider must be associated to the members' event history on the inquiry. Additional information, such as the date of the original request, may help to limit the number of patient event authorizations returned per patient on the response.
  • A primary care provider (PCP) has several patients for whom he tracks all authorizations initiated by himself or by specialists. The PCP inquires to determine if the UMO has authorized any service reviews for these patients. The provider submits a batch inquiry transaction listing each of the patients and can specify a certification effective date or issue date for each, if applicable. The inquiry must include the appropriate member ID information for each patient. Additional information, such as the patient diagnosis or service(s) to be performed, may help to limit the number of patient event authorizations returned per patient on the response.

Global Inquiry
The 278 inquiry also enables the requester to inquire on the status of authorizations that meet specific patient event or service criteria without identifying a specific patient. Inquiries of this type are denoted in the transaction with a BHT02 value of 51 (Historical Inquiry). A scenario illustrating the use of a global inquiry follows.

  • A provider has submitted service review requests for several patients for which he has not received final responses. The inquiry does not specify the name or member information for each patient. Instead, the provider inquires on the status of all the requests submitted on a specific date. The inquiry transaction identifies the inquiring provider as the referring provider and specifies the date when these initial service review requests were initiated.

1.4.3 Business Events Supported in Other 278 Guides

The 278 transaction set accommodates additional health care services review business events that are covered in separate 278 implementation guides. A brief description of these business events follows.

1.4.3.1 Notification

Trading partners can use the 278 transaction set to share unsolicited information with providers, payers, delegated UMO entities and/or other providers. This information may include health service reviews or notification of scheduled treatment, or the beginning and end of treatment. A participant who is the recipient of the information may acknowledge they received the data, or reject the data due to specific application layer processing, but may not respond with any review decision outcome.

This implementation guide supports the following categories of notifications.

Advance Notification for:

  • scheduled inpatient admissions
  • scheduled health services events
  • scheduled specialty care services

Completion Notification for:

  • patient arrival at a facility
  • patient discharge from a facility
  • services completion notice for any specific episode of care

Information Copy for any Health Services Review information sent to primary provider(s), service provider(s), or other Health Care entities requiring the information for specific purposes.

Change Notification for reporting changes to the detail of a previously sent notification or information copy.

As illustrated in Figure 1.2 - Health Care Services Review - Notification, unsolicited information is sent from the information source to both the UMO and Service Provider. For example, in a situation where the primary care provider may authorize specialty referrals that do not require review for medical necessity, appropriateness, or level of care, the primary care provider is the information source. This provider might have responsibility for notifying both the UMO and the service provider of the specialty referral, without the expectation of a response.

Figure 1.2 - Health Care Services Review - Notification

Health Care Services Review - Notification

1.4.3.2 Request and Response

Health Care Services Review - Request and Response includes the following business events.

  • admission certification review request and associated response
  • referral review request and associated response
  • health care services certification review request and associated response
  • extend certification review request and associated response
  • certification appeal review request and associated response
  • reservation of medical services request and associated response
  • cancellations of service reservations request and associated response

As illustrated in Figure 1.3 - Health Care Services Review - Request for Review and Response, the exchange of information is between the primary parties, the provider and the UMO.

1.5 Business Terminology

To ensure consistent use of terms, definitions, and acronyms across X12 products, X12 maintains the Wordbook, a comprehensive corporate glossary. The included terms are either proprietary to X12, cite definitions published by another authority, or represent common terms and definitions that are relevant to X12's work. The terms and definitions defined in the Wordbook are used in X12 work products when applicable, without modification or revision. The Wordbook can be referenced online at wordbook.x12.org.

1.6 Transaction Acknowledgments

The purpose of transaction acknowledgments is to report to the sender whether the transaction being acknowledged was accepted or rejected.

The X12 Technical Report Type 2, Acknowledgment Reference Model provides guidance on several control structures and transaction set standards intended to augment EDI auditing and control systems.

1.7 Related Transactions

There are no transactions related to the transactions described in this implementation guide.

1.8 Trading Partner Agreements

Trading partner agreements are used to establish and document the relationship between trading partners. A trading partner agreement must not override the specifications in this implementation guide if a transmission is reported in GS08 to be a product of this implementation guide.

1.9 Transaction Compliance

There are three types of compliance that may be relevant to a transmitted transaction.

Compliance with implementation guide requirements

Compliance with state and federal regulation

Compliance with trading partner contractual agreements

1.9.1 Transaction Compliance with Implementation Guide Requirements

A transaction complies with X12 implementation guide requirements if the transaction satisfies all format and content rules and constraints specified in the applicable X12 standards and the implementation guide (also known as a TR3) itself.

Should additional clarification of an X12 implementation guide requirement be desired, two options are available.

X12 does not specify the business rules that the receiving entity must use to decide when to accept or reject a transaction. The receiver will handle transactions that are not TR3-compliant based on its own business process.

A receiver may specify its business rules in a trading partner agreement or companion document. As stated in §1.8, these documents do not override TR3 requirements, nor change how transaction compliance with this TR3 is determined.

1.9.2 Transaction Compliance with State and Federal Regulations

This implementation guide has been developed for use as an insurance industry implementation guide. At the time of publication it has not been adopted as a state or federal standard. Should this implementation guide be adopted as a standard, the adopting authority will establish compliance dates for its use by impacted entities.

X12 is not the authority for determining compliance with regulatory requirements that might further constrain implementation guide requirements. Questions of compliance for regulatory requirements should be directed to the governing authority.

X12 does not specify the business rules that the receiving entity must use to decide when to accept or reject a transaction. The receiver will handle transactions that do not comply with applicable regulatory requirements as specified by the applicable regulation(s) or governing authority.

1.9.3 Transaction Compliance with Contractual Requirements

X12 is not the authority for determining compliance with contractual requirements that might further constrain implementation guide requirements. Questions of compliance for contractual requirements should be directed to the contracting entity.

X12 does not specify the business rules that the receiving entity must use to decide when to accept or reject a transaction. The receiver will handle transactions that do not comply with contractual requirements as specified by the applicable contract or contracting entity.

1.10 Data Overview

Interested parties can exchange the 278 transaction in a bi-directional re-quest/response mode of operation. In this implementation, a participant inquires on the status of authorizations and a review entity responds to that request. This section provides general information on the structure of the transaction set as represented in this implementation guide.

NOTE
See Appendix B, X12 Control and Guidance, to review the transaction set structure, including descriptions of segments, data elements, levels, and loops.

1.10.1 Overall Data Architecture

The 278 is divided into two levels, or tables. Refer to Section 2, Transaction Set, for a description of the format presented.

The Header level, Table 1, contains the purpose code for the transaction set as well as date and time stamps. The value assigned to BHT02 in the header provides additional information about the business purpose of the transaction. A BHT02 value of 28 (Query) indicates an inquiry for authorizations for the patient(s) identified and a BHT02 value of 51 (Historical Inquiry) identifies a global inquiry for all authorizations on file that match the search criteria specified where that search criteria does not identify any specific patients.

A BHT02 value of 49 (Original - No Response Necessary) indicates a response to a patient inquiry and a value of 52 (Response to Historical Inquiry) indicates a response to a global inquiry.

This implementation uses the BHT06 to further qualify the business purpose of the transaction. BHT06, used in conjunction with BHT02, enables the trading partners to specify the amount of detail to exchange in global inquiries. A BHT06 value of RD (Returns Detail) on the inquiry indicates that the requester (or requesting system) can handle a response containing the full detail for the available records on the UMO system. A BHT06 value of ZW (Sort and Segregate Detail) indicates that the requester (or requesting system) prefers summary detail for the available records on the UMO system. The requester can use this, in combination with a global inquiry (BHT02 = 51), to indicate a preference for summary responses. This implementation guide does not require that UMO systems support the ability to return both summary and detail responses.

On the response, BHT06 provides information on the status of the response to the inquiry. A value of RD (Returns Detail) advises that the response contains detail information and a value of ZW advises that the response contains only summary information on the authorizations available in the UMO system. Depending on the detail provided on the inquiry, the UMO system may have a large number of records on file that match the query criteria. Some UMO systems have limitations on the number of authorizations returned per inquiry. The UMO system can use a response BHT06 value of RS (Response - Additional Responses Available) to indicate that more records qualified than the UMO system returned on the response.

Refer to Section 1.11.5 - Summary Responses and Detail Responses for guidelines on the content of these responses.

The Detail level, Table 2, contains all the data relating to the transaction, including transaction participants, the patient, all providers, and services detail information. Table 2 uses a hierarchical data structure. For the types of business transactions that this implementation guide addresses, the following HL levels apply to both the inquiry and the response.

Loop 2000A contains the UMO
Loop 2000B contains the Requester
Loop 2000C contains the Subscriber
Loop 2000D contains the Dependent
Loop 2000E contains the Patient Event and Patient Event Providers
Loop 2000F contains the Service and Service Providers

One Patient Per Transaction
The 278 supports multiple types of service review inquiries. The number of referrals and certifications that qualify for inclusion in the response will vary based on the criteria specified on the inquiry and the review entity's rules for relinquishing patient information to the requesting provider. An inquiry respecting a single patient can result in a response that contains multiple patient event loops, one for each patient event authorized. Each of these loops may contain one to many service loops depending on the complexity of services authorized. Due to the multiplicity of uses of the 278, this guide requires a separate transaction for each patient inquiry submitted in real-time mode.

Refer to "Multiple Patients Certification Inquiry" in Section 1.4.2 - Business Events Supported in this Guide - Inquiry and Response for scenarios that support multiple patients on the inquiry.

Service Review Participants
This implementation uses a separate hierarchical level to identify each participant in the service review. Loop 2000A and Loop 2000B represent the UMO (reviewer or information source) and requesting provider respectively. Loop 2000C and Loop 2000D represent the subscriber and dependent. If the subscriber is the patient or if the patient has a unique identification number, only Loop 2000C is required. Loop 2000E carries information about the patient event and the provider(s) (referred-to providers) associated with this patient event. Loop 2000F carries information about specific services and the service provider(s) for those individual services.

Patient Event
Patient event in this guide refers to the service or group of services associated with a single episode of care. The 278 supports multiple types of service review requests. Due to the multiplicity of uses of the 278, this guide requires that inquiries submitted in real-time mode use separate transaction sets for different patients and events. This is a one-to-one style relationship: one transaction set for one patient event. Loop 2000E contains the information associated with the patient event. This includes the diagnosis and condition of the patient, the identification of the category of services associated with this patient event, and the provider (facility or specialist) that will provide the services associated with this patient event.

Services
A health care services review can include a request to authorize a specific service and service provider associated with that service. Loop 2000F identifies the specific services included in this patient event and the providers that will deliver these services.

NOTE
The inclusion of detailed service review information on the inquiry limits the authorizations that qualify for inclusion on the response.

1.10.2 Sample Table 2 Configurations

The following are sample Table 2 configurations.

The following example represents an inquiry for authorizations for a specific patient event, such as ambulance transport, for a dependent of a subscriber.

UMO (Loop 2000A)

Requester (Loop 2000B)

Subscriber (Loop 2000C)

Dependent (Loop 2000D)

Patient Event (Loop 2000E)

The following example represents a response to an inquiry for a category of service, such as ambulance transport, for a dependent of a subscriber.

UMO (Loop 2000A)

Requester (Loop 2000B)

Subscriber (Loop 2000C)

Dependent (Loop 2000D)

Patient Event (Loop 2000E)

The following example represents an inquiry from a PCP to a UMO on all certifications for a patient who is the Subscriber.

UMO (Loop 2000A)

Requester (Loop 2000B) - PCP

Subscriber (Loop 2000C) - Patient

Patient Event (Loop 2000E) (Certification Search Criteria)

The following example represents a response (from a UMO to a PCP) to an inquiry on all authorizations (certifications) for a patient who is the Subscriber. The UMO system contains two certifications that match the query criteria.

UMO (Loop 2000A)

Requester (Loop 2000B) - PCP

Subscriber (Loop 2000C) - Patient

Patient Event (Loop 2000E)

Service (Loop 2000F) - Authorization 1

Patient Event (Loop 2000E)

Service (Loop 2000F) - Authorization 2

In the preceding example, the second patient event level is for a different episode of care and associated authorization.

NOTE
The providers, including the original referring or ordering provider, associated with the patient event or specific service are identified within the patient event and service loops respectively.

1.10.3 Intended Segment Use

Each hierarchical level (loop) in this implementation consists of multiple segments and is based on the same standard hierarchical structure of segments. An implementation specifies the maximum segments you can include, per hierarchical level, to describe the service review participants, patient event, and services.

1.10.4 Matching the Inquiry with Its Response

This implementation guide provides several methods to enable requesters, clearinghouses, and UMOs to trace the transaction or match the response to the inquiry. This section describes the segments and data elements that carry these identifiers.

BHT03 - Submitter Transaction Identifier
BHT03 identifies the transaction at its highest level. This is particularly useful in reconciling 278 rejection response transactions that may not contain all of the HL Loops. BHT03 is required on both the inquiry and the response. When the 278 inquiry and response are used in real-time mode, the receiver of the 278 inquiry (whether it is a clearinghouse or UMO) must return the inquiry BHT03 value in the 278 response BHT03.

In batch processing the responding system might not address each patient inquiry in the same batch response. Therefore, this implementation guide does not require the receiver of the request transaction to return the inquiry BHT03 value on the batch response. The responder can assign its own identifier to the transaction in BHT03.

TRN Segment
The TRN is supplied solely for the convenience of the organization that originated it. It enables the originator to assign a unique ID to each unique service review inquiry and identifies the organization that generated the inquiry. Both the requester (provider) and the clearinghouse can add a TRN segment to the inquiry. Each trace number provided in a TRN segment on the inquiry must be returned by the UMO in the TRN segment at the corresponding level of the response.

Loop 2000E (Patient Event level)and Loop 2000F (Service level) also contain a TRN segment. Use the 2000F and/or the 2000E TRN segment in lieu of the patient level TRN only when inquiring on certifications for more than one patient event (multiple patient event loops) or service (multiple service loops) for the same patient, or when submitting a global inquiry.

Requester TRN
The requester (provider) can use this TRN segment to meet several needs. This enables the requester to accomplish the following:

  • uniquely identify this service review inquiry or each query contained in the inquiry within the provider's environment
  • match the associated response to the inquiry
  • facilitate routing of this response in a large health care environment. For example, it might be necessary for the requester to identify the department within the provider environment that originated the transaction.

Clearinghouse TRN
If the transaction is routed through a clearinghouse, the clearinghouse can provide its own trace number in a separate TRN segment in Loop 2000E (Patient Event), or Loop 2000F (Service) on the request to use for transaction tracking and matching purposes.

If the 278 inquiry transaction passes through more than one clearinghouse, the second (and subsequent) clearinghouse may choose one of the following options:

  1. If the second or subsequent clearinghouse needs to assign their own TRN segment they may replace the received TRN segment belonging to the sending clearinghouse with their own TRN segment. Upon returning a 278 response to the sending clearinghouse, they must remove their TRN segment and replace it with the sending clearinghouse's TRN segment.
  2. If the second or subsequent clearinghouse does not need to assign their own TRN segment, they must pass all TRN segments received in the 278 request back in the 278 response transaction. If the 278 request passes through a clearinghouse that adds their own TRN in addition to a requester TRN, the clearinghouse will receive a response from the UMO containing two TRN segments that contain the value "2" (Referenced Transaction Trace Number) in TRN01. If the UMO has assigned a TRN, the UMO's TRN will contain the value "1" (Current Transaction Trace Number) in TRN01. If the clearinghouse chooses to pass their own TRN values to the requester, the clearinghouse must change the value in their TRN01 to "1" because, from the requester's perspective, this is not a referenced transaction trace number.

UMO TRN
If the TRN segment is used on the inquiry, the UMO must return the trace information supplied with the request transaction in the response transaction.

UMOs can add a trace number in their own TRN segment in the same loop on the response. The UMO cannot use this trace number to identify the certification to the requester.

1.10.5 Inquiry Responses

The UMO must respond to each 278 transaction set received. If the UMO can process the 278 inquiry, the UMO must return a 278 response that contains either the authorization(s) found or the reason why no authorizations were found.

Patient Confidentiality
Inquiry responses may include authorizations that contain information concerning the patient's current condition and treatment. Implementers of the 278 inquiry and response must ensure that only authorized participants have access to this data. The UMO/responding entity should establish response content criteria based on the identity of the requesting entity. For example, UMOs might use the requesting provider's role in the care of the patient as criteria for determining what authorization information to return on the response. If the provider initiating the inquiry is the member's PCP, the UMO rules may permit the PCP to view all authorizations for that patient, regardless of what provider initiated the original service review request. These criteria must prevent the UMO's system from disseminating confidential patient information to providers not directly involved in the care of the patient.

Rejected Transactions
Missing or incorrect application data on the 278 inquiry can cause the UMO to reject the transaction. For these requests, the UMO must return a 278 inquiry response transaction that contains a AAA Request Validation segment at the appropriate level to indicate why the UMO rejected the transaction. The AAA segments in Loop 2000A (UMO) enable both the clearinghouse and the reviewer to indicate when system availability issues prohibit routing of the inquiry request for processing.

1.11 Data Use By Business Use

The segments referenced in Table 1.1 - Intended Segment Use for an Inquiry Transaction and Table 1.2 - Intended Segment Use for an Inquiry Response Transaction carry the data content of the health care services review. This section provides examples of the segments and data element values used in the hierarchical levels. The use of UMO, requester, subscriber, dependent, patient event, and service is consistent across types of health care services reviews. However, the use of the patient event and service levels differ across types of health care services reviews. Therefore, the patient event level and service level discussions in this section contain multiple examples.

Minimum Data Requirements
Factors such as the type of health care services review requested, the condition of the patient, and the individual UMO's rules for processing authorization inquiries make it difficult to identify a single set of data elements that are required for all types of inquiries. To meet the divergent needs of the UMOs and requesters, this guide includes many data elements and segments marked "situational".

NOTE
This section provides examples of types of health care service reviews and the minimum data required. Refer to Section 2 of this guide for detailed information on valuing specific data elements within the segments.

1.11.1 Transaction Participants (Loop 2000A, Loop 2000B)

The Loop 2000A and Loop 2000B hierarchical levels convey information about the primary participants in a health care service review transaction, the information source (UMO) and the information receiver (requester). Figure 1.4 - UMO and Requester Levels, presents Loop 2000A and Loop 2000B.

Figure 1.4 - UMO and Requester Levels

UMO and Requester Levels

Hierarchy Usage Chart for Transaction Participants
Various utilization management entities may appear in either Loop 2000A or Loop 2000B depending on the transaction usage. Table 1.3 - HL Information Sources and Receivers, has been included to better clarify the various entities involved in a health care services review inquiry. This matrix contains some examples where the UMO is one form of an HMO. Other examples can be constructed for other UMO environments. This matrix is by no means exhaustive.

UMO (Loop 2000A)
The Loop 2000A hierarchical level is used to identify the UMO. The UMO is generally the entity empowered to make a decision regarding the outcome of a health services review or the owner of information.

The following example demonstrates a minimum way of identifying a UMO.

HL*1**20*1~
NM1*X3*2******XX*1234567890~

Requester (Loop 2000B)
The Loop 2000B hierarchical level is used to designate the requester. The requester is generally the entity who is making the inquiry and for whom the response decision is intended.

On the response, this loop is required if the UMO system processed any of the information contained in the corresponding Loop 2000B of the inquiry. The UMO system must return a response or error response containing this loop. If the UMO system was unable to process any data beyond Loop 2000A of the inquiry, then this Loop 2000B is not required.

The following example demonstrates a minimum way of identifying a requester.

HL*2*1*21*1~
NM1*1P*1******24*000012345~

1.11.2 Patient (Loop 2000C and Loop 2000D)

Subscriber Loop 2000C and Dependent Loop 2000D identify the patient. Loop 2000C is always valued when inquiring on certifications for a specific patient and not used on global inquiries. Loop 2000C is required on a response to a patient specific inquiry when that response does not report a reject reason in a AAA segment in Loop 2000A or Loop 2000B. It is also required on global inquiry responses that return information on authorizations that match the inquiry criteria. Loop 2000D is used only when necessary to identify a patient who is a dependent. Figure 1.5 - Subscriber and Dependent Levels shows the structure of these loops.

Figure 1.5 - Subscriber and Dependent Levels

Subscriber and Dependent Levels

When the subscriber is the patient or when the patient has a unique identification number (different from the subscriber), only Loop 2000C is used. This situation is common when an insurance company issues a unique insurance identification card to each individual insured. In all other cases, Loop 2000C is used to identify the subscriber. Loop 2000D is used to identify the subscriber's dependent, who is the patient. This structure is more common in traditional group insurance where a patient is uniquely identified within the primary subscriber identifier.

When the 278 inquiry and response transaction set is used in batch mode, it can contain multiple patient requests. The recommended maximum is 99 but can be expanded by trading partner agreements. Refer to Section 1.3.2 - Other Usage Limitations for more information.

The Subscriber Name Loop 2010C and Dependent Name Loop 2010D contain the segments and data elements that hold the patient identification information. The NM1 and DMG segments contain all the data needed for the requester and UMO to identify the patient.

Identifying the Subscriber/Patient
In Subscriber Name Loop 2010C, the member ID (NM108/NM109) is required and may be adequate to identify the subscriber to the UMO. However, the UMO can require additional information. The maximum data elements that the UMO can require to identify the subscriber, in addition to the member ID, are as follows:

Subscriber Last Name (NM103)
Subscriber First Name (NM104)
Subscriber Birth Date (DMG01 and DMG02).

The data requirements are the same for a dependent patient who has a unique identification number (different from the subscriber). When the subscriber is the patient or when the patient has a unique identification number (different from the subscriber), only Loop 2000C is used.

The following example demonstrates a sufficient way of identifying a patient who has a unique identification number.

HL*3*2*22*1~
NM1*IL*1*SMITH*JOE****MI*12345678901~

Identifying the Dependent
If the dependent has not been issued a unique member ID, the Dependent Loop (2000D) is required in addition to Loop 2000C. Loop 2000C conveys insurance information and Loop 2000D conveys patient-related information. The maximum data elements that can be required by a UMO in Loop 2010C and 2010D to identify a patient are:

Loop 2010C
Subscriber's Member ID

Loop 2010D
Patient's First Name
Patient's Last Name
Patient's Date of Birth

If all four of these elements are present the UMO must generate a response if the patient is in the UMO's database. All UMOs are required to support the above search option if their system does not have unique Member Identifiers assigned to dependents.

The following example demonstrates a sufficient way of identifying a patient who is the dependent of a subscriber. The example also illustrates the use of other segments.

HL*3*2*22*1~
NM1*IL*1*SMITH*JOE****MI*12345678901~
HL*4*3*23*1~
NM1*QC*1*SMITH*SEAN~
DMG*D8*20021229~

Patient Account Number
The requester (provider) can supply the patient account number as a supplemental identifier for the patient on the inquiry. This value is carried in a REF segment where REF01 = "EJ" in Loop 2000C - Subscriber or Loop 2000D - Dependent, whichever is the patient. However if the UMO receives the patient account number, they must return it in the 278 inquiry response transaction when a AAA reject is not returned at a higher level.

1.11.3 Patient Event (Loop 2000E)

A 278 inquiry transaction must include criteria to indicate the type of service review authorization to search for in the UMO system. The Patient Event loop is required on global inquiries and either the Patient Event loop or the Service loop (Loop 2000F) is required on patient inquiries. The Loop 2000E hierarchical level identifies the patient event associated with this health care services review inquiry. It identifies the category of service on the original request and whether the patient event concerns a referral to a specialist, specialty treatment, or an admission to a facility.

Figure 1.6 - Patient Event Level

Patient Event Level

Patient Event Inquiry Search Criteria
The requester can narrow the search by including additional patient event level search criteria in the inquiry such as the following:

  • status of the service review decision
  • previous review authorization number
  • previous review administrative reference number
  • dates associated with the patient event or the certification period
  • diagnosis associated with the original health care services review request
  • providers or specialty entities associated with this patient event, including the original referring or ordering provider

If the requester needs to further qualify the inquiry to search for specific procedures to be performed, the requester must identify these procedures at the Service Level (Loop 2000F).

Patient Event Inquiry Response - Authorizations Found
The inquiry response indicates if any authorizations are on file that meet the specifications contained in the inquiry. If this is a response to a global inquiry and authorizations exist that match the patient event specified, the response identifies one to many patients (Loops 2000C/2000D), where each patient loop contains at least one subordinate Patient Event loop (2000E). If this is a response to a patient-specific patient event inquiry and authorizations exist, the response includes one to many Patient Event loops associated with that patient. Each Patient Event loop of the response identifies a different service review authorization and may have subordinate Service loops that identify the specific services associated with that patient event. The response indicates the level of approval and any additional information available respecting the details of the authorization.

Patient Event Inquiry Response - Data Error or No Authorizations Found
The AAA segment is used only on the response. If the UMO system was unable to process the inquiry due to missing or invalid application data at this level, the UMO must return a 278 inquiry response containing a AAA segment at this level.

The AAA segment serves two purposes. It identifies the primary error condition in the Patient Event level on the inquiry that prohibits processing of the original inquiry. Also, if no authorizations are on file that meet the criteria specified at the Patient Event level of the inquiry, the UMO system must return an AAA segment at this level of the response to indicate that no authorizations match the inquiry criteria specified.

1.11.3.1 Specialty Care Referral Inquiries

Health care service review requests originally submitted on a 278 request transaction must specify a request category. You can specify the same service review request category on the inquiry to limit the number of authorizations in the UMO system that qualify in the inquiry result.

Specialty care referrals encompass those transactions where a provider requests permission to refer or send a patient to another provider, generally a specialist. These types of transactions generally are shared between a primary care physician and a UMO. However, they may just as easily be shared between any two providers or UMOs. A specialist (patient event or service provider) can use a specialty care referral inquiry to verify that a referral has been authorized for a specific patient. The original requesting provider can use the global inquiry to determine the status of all referral requests that the provider sent to the UMO previously. The requester can further qualify both patient specific and global inquiries with additional information on the specialist, specialty entity, or service type specified on the original request for referral.

The following example inquires on authorizations on file for a single office visit for a consultation at the provider's office.

Referral Inquiry

HL*4*3*EV*0~
UM*SC**3*11:B~

The UM segment is used to identify the type of health care services request.

UM01 = SC (Specialty Care Review)
UM03 = 3 (Consultation)
UM04 = 11:B (Physician's Office)

Generally, referral inquires include additional patient event inquiry criteria such as identification information about the consulting physician or specialty and the proposed date of the event. If the inquiry concerns referrals for a specific patient, then the Patient Event loop follows a parent Patient loop (2000C/2000D).

Referral Inquiry Response
The following sections describe the segments, in addition to those included on the inquiry, that may appear at the Patient Event level in the referral inquiry response.

The following response identifies an approved specialty care referral.

HL*4*3*EV*0~
UM*SC*I*3*11:B~
HCR*A1*0081096G~
HSD*VS*1~

Response Indicating Approval
The response includes the original service level details respecting the services requested. The HCR segment provides the results of the review as well as an associated reference number. This set of values indicates approval of the request in full. A reference number 0081096G is supplied and is critical if the provider wishes to initiate further transactions concerning this service.

HCR01 = A1 (Certified in Total)
HCR02 = 0081096G (Review Identification Number)

The UMO has authorized one visit (HSD*VS*1~).

Response Indicating Approval with Modification of Services
If the review entity approved the specialist visits specified on the original request but increased the number of visits to 4, the inquiry response would indicate this modification as follows:

HCR*A6*0081096G~
HSD*VS*4~

The HCR value "A6" indicates a status of modified.

Response Indicating Denial of Services
Some UMO systems retain information on file about denials. Many do not. The following is an example of the information returned on the inquiry response if the review entity denied the original service review request.

HL*4*3*EV*0~
UM*SC*I*3*11:B~
HCR*A3**0Y~
HSD*VS*1~

The A3 value indicates "not certified." In this example, the UMO has also supplied a Decision Reason Code (0Y), "Service Inconsistent with Patient's Age". Depending on UMO policy, the UMO might also return an administrative reference number (REF segment where REF01 = NT) that the requester can use to reference the transaction at a later date.

Inquiry on Request for Renewal
Various services, such as physical therapy, spinal manipulation, and allergy treatment, have both a delivery pattern and a time span of authorization. Many UMOs place time limits on the period of treatment authorized and the UMO will authorize treatment for a limited period. For example, in a blanket authorization for allergy treatments as required for 30 days, at the end of the 30 days, the provider must request to renew the certification, not extend it. The UMO authorizes treatment for 30 day intervals, one interval at a time. In the original request for a renewal, the requester references the previous certification identifier and assigns UM02 the value "R". An inquiry can contain criteria to inquire on the status of the request for renewal, as follows:

HL*4*3*EV*0~
UM*SC*R~
REF*BB*AUT00001~

where UM02 = R (renewal) indicates that the requester wants to locate authorizations for renewal and REF01 = BB identifies AUT00001 as the previous review authorization number that was submitted on the request for renewal.

1.11.3.2 Health Services Review Inquiries

The term "health services review" identifies certifications for specific treatments or more extended care. Extended care refers to treatment for a condition requiring prolonged rehabilitation therapy. The requester can structure each inquiry to identify a certification related to a specific treatment, or extended care associated with a single patient event. If no specific dates are identified on the inquiry, multiple patient event certifications may be returned.

Health Service Review Inquiry
The UM segment identifies the type of health care services review inquiry. This limits the selection to only those certifications for the type of service specified. Use of this data element assumes that the original health care services review request specified the same service type. An example illustrating the use of UM03 to identify a service type follows.

UM*HS**6~

UM01 = HS (Health Services Review)
UM03 = 6 (Radiation Therapy)

Note that the original health care services review request might have specified a different service type or expressed the service as a specific procedure or set of procedures in the Service level segments of the original request. Use of this segment on the inquiry implies that only those certifications with an exact match on this value are returned by the UMO.

Health Service Review Inquiry Response
The uses of the Patient Event level on the health care services certification inquiry response are similar to those defined for the specialty care referral inquiry response with the exception of the following additional segments.

CR1, CR2, CR5, CR6 Segments
These segments provide more detailed information regarding ambulance, spinal manipulation, oxygen therapy, and home health care services. The inquiry response returns this information if it was submitted on the original health care services review request and is relevant to the certification information returned.

Inquiry Response for Spinal Manipulation Treatment
This is an example of a certification for spinal manipulation services (UM03 = 33) of the thoracic and lumbar section of the spine. It provides an example of the use of the CR2 segment. In this scenario, the UMO authorized 2 visits per week over a 3 month period. In addition, the certification specifies subluxation for Thoracic Eleven and Lumbar Five of the spine. In addition, the UMO might have authorized specific procedures in association with this treatment. The response returns procedure information at the Service level.

HL*4*3*EV*0~
UM*HS*I*33~
HCR*A1*00287654S~
HSD*VS*2*WK**34*3~
CR2***T11*L5~

The HSD Segment specifies the pattern of delivery for the authorized treatment. The spinal manipulation services include 2 visits per week over a 3 month period.

HSD01 = VS (Visits - Type of service count)
HSD02 = 2 (Number for quantity of services to be rendered in the interval specified in HSD03)
HSD03 = WK (Week - Timeframe for which the quantity of services will be rendered)
HSD05 = 34 (Month - Time period for which services will be continued)
HSD06 = 3 (Number of time periods requested in HSD05)

The CR2 Segment expresses the subluxation levels.
CR203 = T11 (Subluxation level code)
CR204 = L5 (Subluxation level code)

1.11.3.3 Admission Review Inquiries

The term "admission review" identifies requests for admission to a facility for treatment (pre-certification). The transaction set enables the requester to specify both the facility and associated physicians within the same transaction. Admission certification inquiries identify certifications for admission to a facility for treatment (pre-certification).

Admission Review Inquiry
The following example demonstrates an inquiry for authorizations for admission to a specific facility.

HL*4*3*EV*0~
UM*AR**2*21:B~
DTP*435*D8:20110820~
NM1*FA*2*ABC MEMORIAL HOSPITAL*****24*765432100~

The UM segment identifies the type of admission.
UM01 = AR (Admission Review)
UM03 = 2 (Surgical)
UM04 = 21:B (Hospital - Inpatient)

In this example, the additional elements clarify that the admission is for surgery that will take place in an inpatient setting. The NM1 segment identifies a specific facility as the provider of services for this patient event. The DTP identifies the date of admission.

NOTE
Use the Service Level (Loop 2000F) to inquire on authorizations for specific surgical procedures associated with this admission.

Admission Review Inquiry Response
The uses of the Patient Event level on the admission certification inquiry response are similar to those defined for the specialty care referral inquiry response.

1.11.3.4 Search for All Certifications for a Patient

The requester can elect to omit the request category (UM segment) from the Patient Event level of the inquiry. A PCP could use this type of inquiry to access all review and certification activity for the patient identified at the Patient level (2000C/2000D), as qualified by any one of the Patient Event level dates (DTP segments). The responder can limit the number of certifications returned on the response. For example, the UMO system might restrict responses to include the most recent 10 certifications that meet the search criteria.

All Certifications for a Patient Inquiry
If the inquiry was limited to a specific health care service review request date range, the Patient Event level would include a DTP segment but no UM segment. For example:

HL*4*3*EV*0~
DTP*881*RD8*20110101-20110830~

All Certifications for a Patient Inquiry Response
The all certifications for a patient inquiry response uses are identical to those described for the other types of inquiries. However, multiple Patient Event and Service level combinations may be returned representing multiple certifications for multiple patient events respecting the one patient.

1.11.4 Services (Loop 2000F)

On the 278 inquiry, the requester can use the Service level (Loop 2000F) to inquire on authorizations associated with specific procedures identified by procedure code. The requester can also identify service dates and service providers associated with the delivery of those procedures. Even if the inquiry does not include Service level information, any inquiry response that returns information on authorizations found may return Service level information that provides the details on the services associated with the patient event authorized. Some UMOs assign authorization to each service and others authorize the entire patient event. If the UMO authorizes at the service level, then each Service loop on the response can contain an HCR segment to return a specific review outcome and authorization number for each service.

Figure 1.7 - Service Level

Figure 1.7 - Service Level

As illustrated in Matrix 1 and Matrix 2, many of the segments used in Loop 2000F are the same as those available in Loop 2000E. For a detailed explanation of their use, refer to Section 1.11.3 - Patient Event (Loop 2000E).

Requesters can omit the Service level from the inquiry if they want to see all services associated with a patient event. On the inquiry response, the Service level can include all the pertinent information originally submitted as part of the original health care services review request.

Services Inquiry
The following demonstrates the Service level information for an inquiry for authorizations for a triple bypass venous graft. The inquiry has identified a specific patient in Loop 2000C and a patient event of admission review in Loop 2000E.

HL*5*4*SS*0~
SV2**HC:33510~

The SV2 segment specifies the CPT code for a triple bypass venous graft.

The UMO returns additional detail on the authorized service as follows:

HL*5*4*SS*0~

This HL is subordinate to HL*4, the parent HL (which contains Patient Event information). This HL code is SS, identifying the service. This HL has no subordinate levels, or children.

UM*HS**2~

This service review is for surgery.

HCR*A1*AUTH0002~

The UMO has approved the surgery in full and assigned it a separate certification number, AUTH0002.

DTP*472*D8*20050924~

The requested date for the surgery is September 24, 2005

SV2**HC:33510~

The surgeon will perform a triple bypass venous graft

NM1*72*1*Watson*Susan****

34*987654321~

Dr. Watson is the surgeon

PRV*PE*203BS0133X~

Dr. Watson's specialty is thoracic cardiovascular surgery.

On the 278 inquiry response, the Service level (Loop 2000F) conveys the outcome of the service review decisions previously made about the patient for the period or services specified on the inquiry or as supported by the UMO.

The HI segment "Additional Service Description" is used to further define the service/procedure identified in UM03, SV1, SV2, SV3 or DRA. The segment uses SNOMED (and/or other as yet unspecified code set) codes to provide added granularity regarding the planned, requested or approved service. Use is particularly beneficial for services that are broadly defined such as Consultation, Targeted Medication Review, Chronic Care Coordination Services, Transitional Care Management and Medication Therapy Management.

For example:

UM03 = 3 (Consultation)
HI01-01 = AAA
HI01-02 = 422011000124105 (Geriatric syndrome education)
OR
Inquiry Request:
HI01-01 = AAA
HI01-02 = 431531000124101 (Health literacy assessment)

Inquiry Response:
SV101-01 = HC
SV01-02 = 99496 (Transitional Care Management Services)
HI01-01 = AAA
HI01-02 = 1871000124103 (Transition from acute care to home-health care)
HI02-01 = AAA
HI02-02 = 429111000124101 (Documentation of care summary)
HI03-01 = AAA
HI03-02 = 431531000124101 (Health literacy assessment)
HI04-01 = AAA
HI04-02 = 417011000124102 (Gastrointestinal disorder education)
HI05-01 = AAA
HI05-02 = (473230005 Gastrointestinal disorder medication review)

1.11.5 Summary Responses and Detail Responses

Section 1.10.1 - Overall Data Architecture describes the BHT06 values used to indicate if the response provides summary level or detail information on the authorizations found in the UMO system. Different UMOs may retain and return different levels of detail data related to the authorization. Use the situational rules in Section 2 to determine the specific data fields that the UMO can return on a detail response.

Patient Event level summary responses should return enough information to enable the recipient to send a follow up inquiry for additional detail. Minimum information for an authorized patient event must identify the patient, patient event category (UM01), authorization status (HCR01) and review identification number (HCR02), and a Patient Event level date if one has been assigned. This enables the requester to submit a follow-up inquiry using the patient identification information, request category, and previous review authorization number (REF) to request the details associated with the authorization.

Service level summary responses must return any summary information about the Patient Event in addition to the summary information associated with this service. Summary service authorization information must specify the procedure authorized and can include the authorization status (HCR01), review identification number (HCR02), and service date. The requester can use the review identification number returned at the Service level, or the review identification number returned at the Patient Event level along with the procedure code, to send a follow-up inquiry to access details about the procedure authorize.

2. Transaction Set

NOTE
See X12 documents X12.5, X12.6, and X12.59 to review transaction set structure, including descriptions of segments, levels, and loops.

2.1 Presentation Examples

The X12 standards are generic. For example, multiple trading communities use the same PER segment to specify administrative communication contacts. Each community decides which elements to use and which code values in those elements are applicable.

This implementation guide uses a format that depicts both the generalized standard and the insurance industry-specific implementation. In this implementation guide, IMPLEMENTATION specifies the requirements for this implementation. X12 STANDARD is included as a reference only.

The transaction set presentation is comprised of two main sections with subsections within the main sections:

Transaction Set Listing

There are two sub-sections under this general title. The first sub-section concerns this implementation of a generic X12 transaction set. The second sub-section concerns the generic X12 standard itself.

This section lists the levels, loops, and segments contained in this implementation. It also serves as an index to the segment detail.

This section is included as a reference.

Segment Detail

There are three sub-sections under this general title. This section repeats once for each segment used in this implementation providing segment specific detail and X12 standard detail.

This section is included as a reference.

This section is included as a reference. It provides a pictorial view of the standard and shows which elements are used in this implementation.

This section specifies the implementation details of each data element.

These illustrations (Figures 2.1 through 2.5) are examples and are not extracted from the Section 2 detail in this implementation guide. Annotated illustrations, presented below in the same order they appear in this implementation guide, describe the format of the transaction set that follows.

2.2.1 Industry Usage

Industry Usage describes when loops, segments, and elements are to be sent when complying with this implementation guide. The three choices for Usage are required, not used, and situational. To avoid confusion, these are named differently than the X12 standard Condition Designators (mandatory, optional, and relational).

Required  

This loop/segment/element must always be sent.

Required segments in Situational loops only occur when the loop is used.

Required elements in Situational segments only occur when the segment is used.

Required component elements in Situational composite elements only occur when the composite element is used.

Not Used  

This element must never be sent.

Situational  

Use of this loop/segment/element varies, depending on data content and business context as described in the defining rule. The defining rule is documented in a Situational Rule attached to the item.

There are two forms of Situational Rules.

"Required when <explicit condition statement>. If not required by this implementation guide, may be provided at the sender's discretion, but cannot be required by the receiver."

The data qualified by such a situational rule cannot be required, requested or rejected by the receiver when the condition is not applicable. Transmission of this data is solely at the sender's discretion when the stated condition does not apply.

"Required when <explicit condition statement>. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send."

The data qualified by such a situational rule must not be sent except as described in the explicit condition statement.

2.2.1.1 Determining Transaction Compliance with Industry Usage Requirements

A transmitted transaction complies with the governing implementation guide when it satisfies the requirements as defined within the implementation guide. Specifically, the presence or absence of an item (loop, segment, or element) complies with the industry usage specified by this implementation guide according to the following table.

2.2.2 Loops

Loop requirements depend on the context or location of the loop within the transaction. See Appendix B for more information on loops.

  • A nested loop can be used only when the associated higher level loop is used.
  • The usage of a loop is the same as the usage of its beginning segment.
    • If a loop's beginning segment is Required, the loop is Required and must occur at least once unless it is nested in a loop that is not being used.
    • If a loop's beginning segment is Situational, the loop is Situational.
  • Subsequent segments within a loop can be sent only when the beginning segment is used.
  • Required segments in Situational loops occur only when the loop is used.

Transaction Set Control Number
M 1AN4/9
Identifying control number that must be unique within the transaction set functional group assigned by the originator for a transaction set
The Transaction Set Control Numbers in ST02 and SE02 must be identical and must be a numeric value. The number (i.e. numeric value) is assigned by the originator and must be unique within a functional group (GS-GE). For example, start with the numeric value 0001 and increment from there. The Transaction Set Control Number also aids in error resolution research.
REQUIRED

Implementation Convention Reference
O 1AN1/35
Reference assigned to identify Implementation Convention
SEMANTIC: The implementation convention reference (ST03) is used by the translation routines of the interchange partners to select the appropriate implementation convention to match the transaction set definition. When used, this implementation convention reference takes precedence over the implementation reference specified in the GS08.
This element must be populated with the guide identifier named in Section 1.2.
This field contains the same value as GS08. Some translator products strip off the ISA and GS segments prior to application (ST-SE) processing. Providing the information from the GS08 at this level will ensure that the appropriate application mapping is utilized at translation time.

 HL - SUBSCRIBER LEVEL
X12 Name:Hierarchical Level
X12 Purpose:To identify dependencies among and the content of hierarchically related groups of data segments
X12 Comments:
1.The HL segment is used to identify levels of detail information using a hierarchical structure, such as relating line-item data to shipment data, and packaging data to line-item data.
2.The HL segment defines a top-down/left-right ordered structure.
Loop:
2000C — SUBSCRIBER LEVEL
Loop Repeat: >1
Segment Repeat:
1
Usage:
SITUATIONAL
Situational Rule:
Required when inquiring on the status of authorizations for a specific patient. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
TR3 Notes:
1.The Subscriber Hierarchical level (Loop 2000C) is required if the inquiry concerns authorizations for a specific patient. Situational use of this segment enables the requester to create an inquiry that does not specify the name or member information for each patient. If the requester omits this loop on the inquiry, the requester can inquire on the status of all the health care services review requests for which the provider is the original requesting provider, the patient event/service provider, or primary care provider of record for the patient(s).

For the UMO to respond to this type of inquiry, the UMO must provide other methods of access to authorizations on file in addition to access by member ID. This guide does not require UMOs to support this level of inquiry. Support at this level is at the discretion of the UMO. The UMO must authenticate that the entity initiating the inquiry has a relationship with this patient that authorizes the requester to receive this information.
2.This segment indicates the subscriber hierarchical level. This segment corresponds to the identification of the subscriber or individual insured member. The subscriber could also be the patient. If the subscriber is the patient or the patient has a unique insurance identifier, the dependent hierarchical level (Loop 2000D) is not used.
3.A transaction submitted in real-time mode can inquire on a maximum of one patient. A transaction submitted in batch mode can contain a maximum of ninety-nine patient requests. Each patient is defined as either one subscriber loop if the member is the patient, or one subscriber loop and one dependent loop if the dependent is the patient.
4.Patient Event Loop 2000E must be valued if Loop 2000C is not valued.

TR3 Notes:
1.This segment conveys the name and identification number of the subscriber (who may also be the patient), or the Property & Casualty (including Workers' Compensation) entity.
2.The Member Identification Number (NM108/NM109) is required and may be adequate to identify the subscriber to the UMO. However, the UMO can require additional information. The maximum data elements that the UMO can require to identify the subscriber, in addition to the member ID are as follows:
Subscriber Last Name (NM103)
Subscriber First Name (NM104)
Subscriber Birth Date (DMG01 and DMG02)
3.Refer to the subsection Identifying the Subscriber/Patient within Section 1.11.2 Patient (Loop 2000C and Loop 2000D) for specific information on how to identify an individual to a UMO.
4.When a Property & Casualty (including Workers' Compensation) entity is the Subscriber, value the Entity Type Qualifier to 2 and the associated Federal Tax ID.

SEGMENT DETAIL 
 HL - DEPENDENT LEVEL
X12 Name:Hierarchical Level
X12 Purpose:To identify dependencies among and the content of hierarchically related groups of data segments
X12 Comments:
1.The HL segment is used to identify levels of detail information using a hierarchical structure, such as relating line-item data to shipment data, and packaging data to line-item data.
2.The HL segment defines a top-down/left-right ordered structure.
Loop:
2000D — DEPENDENT LEVEL
Loop Repeat: >1
Segment Repeat:
1
Usage:
SITUATIONAL
Situational Rule:
Required when inquiring on the status of authorizations for a specific patient who is someone other than the subscriber and the patient does not have a unique (different from the subscriber) member ID. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
TR3 Notes:
1.If the patient has a unique member ID, use Loop 2000C to identify the patient.
2.A transaction submitted in real-time mode can inquire on a maximum of one patient. A transaction submitted in batch mode can contain a maximum of ninety-nine patient requests. Each patient is defined as either one subscriber loop if the member is the patient, or one subscriber loop and one dependent loop if the dependent is the patient.

Situational Rule:
This loop is required when (1) this is a global inquiry and the Patient loop (2000C or 2000D) is not valued, or when (2) the requester wants to limit the inquiry to service reviews for a specific patient event or patient event provider associated with the patient identified, or when (3) this is a patient inquiry and the Service loop (2000F) is not valued. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
TR3 Notes:
1.The Patient Event level enables you to further qualify your inquiry. Use this loop to identify an existing patient event level authorization associated with this inquiry.
2.When you use this loop on the inquiry, you limit the range of authorizations that meet the specifications entered. Use of this loop also ensures that the response from the UMO contains only those authorizations that meet the criteria you provided.
3.A transaction submitted in real time mode can contain a maximum of one global inquiry. A transaction submitted in batch mode can contain a maximum of five global inquiries. Refer to section 1.4.2 for a description of global inquiry.

Required when the requester needs to assign a unique trace number to track this inquiry at the Patient Event level. If not required by this implementation guide, may be provided at the sender's discretion but cannot be required by the receiver.
TR3 Notes:
1.Each trace number provided in the TRN segment at this level on the inquiry must be returned by the UMO in the TRN segment at the corresponding level of the response.
2.If the transaction is routed through a clearinghouse, the clearinghouse may add their own TRN segment. If the transaction passes through multiple clearinghouses, and the second clearinghouse needs to assign their own TRN segment, they must replace the TRN from the first clearinghouse and retain it to be returned in the 278 response. If the second clearinghouse does not need to assign a TRN segment, they should pass all received TRN segments.

1Appeal - Immediate
 
Use when reporting appeals of review decisions when the service required was emergency or urgent.
2Appeal - Standard
 
Use when reporting appeals of review decisions when the service required was not emergency or urgent.
3Cancel
4Extension
 
Use when requesting additional service units and/or the duration of time for a prior approved service.
IInitial
NReconsideration
 
Use when requesting the UMO to reconsider a previously denied referral or certification.
RRenewal
 
Use when various services, such as physical therapy, spinal manipulation, and allergy treatment, have both a delivery pattern and a time span of authorization. Many UMOs place time limits - as in will not authorize anything for more than 30 days at a time. For example, blanket authorization for allergy treatments as required for 30 days. At the end of the 30 days, the provider must request to renew the certification - not extend it - because the UMO authorizes for 30 day intervals, one interval at a time.
SRevised
 
Use when changing the specifics of a previously submitted request for which services have not been rendered.

Required when the requester needs to limit the inquiry to only those health care service reviews on file at the UMO with a specific status. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
TR3 Notes:
1.Use of HCR01 (action code) to limit the responses to only those authorizations that match a specific action/status may omit authorizations for which the status has changed. For example, an inquiry on all health care services reviews with a pended status will not return information on a review that has moved from a pended to a final status.

Required when inquiring on a previously authorized health care service review or on authorizations associated with a previously authorized health care service review and the authorization number previously assigned by the UMO is known. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
TR3 Notes:
1.This is the certification number previously assigned by the UMO to the original service review outcome associated with this inquiry. This is not the trace number assigned by the requester.
2.If the UMO locates this certification number and it has not issued a new certification number associated with the same authorization, the UMO must return the same certification identification in HCR02 in the HCR Health Care Services Review segment of the inquiry response. If this certification number is not found or it has been superseded, the UMO must return this number in the REF segment in the corresponding loop of the response.

Required when the requester needs to track this inquiry at the Service level. If not required by this implementation guide, may be provided at the sender's discretion, but cannot be required by the receiver.
TR3 Notes:
1.Each trace number provided in the TRN segment at this level on the inquiry must be returned by the UMO in the TRN segment at the corresponding level of the response.
2.If the transaction is routed through a clearinghouse, the clearinghouse may add their own TRN segment. If the transaction passes through multiple clearinghouses, and the second clearinghouse needs to assign their own TRN segment, they must replace the TRN from the first clearinghouse and retain it to be returned in the 278 response. If the second clearinghouse does not need to assign a TRN segment, they should pass all received TRN segments.

Appendix A. External Code Sources

Prior to this publication, X12 TR3s contained a subset of the overall Code Source Directory, formerly known as Appendix A of X12.3. External code lists are not part of the X12 standard and are provided for information purposes only. The full listing is available in Glass, X12's On-Line viewer.

Read more about Glass here: https://glasshelp.x12.org/.

Where an external code source is referenced in this publication, the implementer is required to use only the codes from that list. Codes must be reported as listed in the code source (e.g. with leading zeroes). Implementers must follow the instructions for code use that are supplied by the code set owner.

 

B.1.1 Referenced and Related Standards

This technical report is based on the X12 EDI standard which comprises a series of interdependent publications. Implementers are advised to consult these publications when using this technical report.

The following standards are required to interpret, understand, and use this technical report:

  • X12.5 - Interchange Control Structure
  • X12.6 - Application Control Structure

The following guideline is useful to interpret, understand, and use this technical report:

  • Compliance in X12

The following reference model is useful to interpret, understand, and use this technical report:

  • Acknowledgment Reference Model

All of the documents above are available online using links to X12's Online Viewer.

 

B.1.1.1 Transmission Control Schematic

Refer to X12.5 - Interchange Control Structures, Section 3.5 - Order of Control Segments, and Chapter 5 Interchange Segment Specifications.

Similar transaction sets, called "functional groups," can be sent together within a transmission. Each functional group is prefaced by a group start segment; and a functional group is terminated by a group end segment. One or more functional groups are prefaced by an interchange header and followed by an interchange trailer. Figure B.1 - Transmission Control Schematic, illustrates this interchange control.

B.1.1.2 Constraints applicable to the suite of TR3s

Refer to X12.6 - Application Control Structure, Section 3.2.8 - Minimums/Maximums.

Data element minimum and maximum lengths are set by the X12 standard. This implementation guide may further restrict minimum and maximum lengths within the bounds set by the standard. Such restrictions may occur implicitly by virtue of the allowed qualifier for the data element, or they may be stated explicitly in a note attached to the element or in the general limitations below.

 

B.1.1.2.1 Maximum Length of Data Element 127 Reference Identification

The current X12 standard allows a maximum length greater than 50 characters for data element 127.
