ISA - INTERCHANGE CONTROL HEADER

X12 Name:
Interchange Control Header
X12 Purpose:
To start and identify an interchange of zero or more functional groups and interchange-related control segments
Segment Usage:
Required
Segment Repeat:
1
TR3 Notes:
  1. All positions within each of the data elements must be filled.
  2. 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.
  3. The first element separator defines the element separator to be used through the entire interchange.
  4. The ISA segment terminator defines the segment terminator used throughout the entire interchange.
  5. Spaces in the example interchanges are represented by "." for clarity.

  3. After the transition to NPI, for those health care providers covered under the NPI mandate, only one iteration of the 2100C loop may be sent with the NPI reported in the NM109 and NM108=XX.

Abstract

The Health Care Claim Pending Status Information Implementation Guide describes the use of the ANSI ASC X12 Health Care Claim Status Notification (277) transaction set for the following business usage

  • Provide claim status information on claims pending in the payer's adjudication system without requiring health care provider solicitation.

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 and need to be implemented consistently 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 of ASC X12, Health Care Information Status Notification (277). This guide will focus on usage of the 277 by a health care payer to provide claim status information on claims pending in the payer's adjudication system without requiring health care provider solicitation. This guide provides a detailed explanation of the transaction set by defining uniform data content and identifying valid code tables and specifying values applicable for the business focus of the Health Care Claim Pending Status Information 277. The intention of the developers of the 277 is represented in the guide.

Health Care Providers receiving the 277 include, but are not limited to, hospitals, nursing homes, laboratories, physicians, medical group, pharmacies, and suppliers. Organizations sending the 277 include, but are not limited to, insurance companies, third-party administrators, state and federal agencies and their contractors.

Other business partners affiliated with the 277 include, but are not limited to, billing services, clearinghouses and value-added networks.


1.2 Version Information

This implementation guide is based on the October 2003 ASC X12 standards, referred to as Version 5, Release 1, Sub-release 0 (005010).

The unique Version/Release/Industry Identifier Code for transaction sets that are defined by this implementation guide is 005010X228.

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

  • HN Health Care Information Status Notification (277)

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.


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. The sender of the original transmission reconnects at a later time and picks up the response transaction. This implementation guide does not set specific response time parameters for these activities.

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 is intended to support use in batch mode. This implementation guide is intended to support use in real-time mode. A statement that the transaction is not intended to support a specific mode does not preclude its use in that mode between willing trading partners.


1.3.2 Other Usage Limitations

There are other usage limitations.


1.3.2.1 Claim Status Category Codes

Claim status is limited to use of the Pending Claims Status Category Codes (P codes) in this implementation.


1.3.2.2 277 Business Functions

Additional 277 business functions, beyond a pending claim list, are not supported in this implementation. See Section 1.4.4, 277 Transaction Uses, for additional information on the other 277 business functions.


1.4 Business Usage

The ASC X12 Health Care Claim Pending Status Information (277) implementation guide addresses the usage for providing a list of claims that are pending final adjudication in a payer's claim processing system. The listing would include claims that have been accepted into the payer's processing system, but have not been finalized, paid, or denied. The listing may also provide information for claims which have been suspended for additional information or review. However the Health Care Claim Pending Status Information transaction is not used to make the actual request for information. See section 1.4.4, 277 Transaction Uses, for the appropriate business function transaction.

The Health Care Claim Pending Status Information transaction is initiated by the payer to the provider. This transaction's intent is to supply the provider with claim status without the provider initiating a specific request for the information. Whether the transaction is sent and when (weekly, monthly, etc.) is determined by trading partners. It is recommended it be sent at the same time as the Health Care Claim Payment/Advice (835), although that capability may vary by trading partner.

Finalized payment or denial information is not included in the transaction. The payer uses the Health Care Claim Payment/Advice (835) transaction to advise the provider on claims that have been finalized, paid or denied, by the adjudication system. When the payer generates the 277 in addition to the 835, a more complete claim accounting is provided. Usage of the Health Care Claim Pending Status Information transaction may minimize the need for the Health Care Claim Status Request and Response transaction (276/277).

Information Flow of Health Care Claim Pending Status Information


1.4.1 Transaction Participants

The hierarchical level structure is used to identify and relate the participants involved in the transaction. The relationships between the hierarchical levels are described by the hierarchical level code data elements, also known as HL01 and HL02. The data element HL03 identifies the participants within the transaction. The participants described are as follows:

When HL03 = 20, the hierarchical level contains the Information Source. This entity is the decision maker in the business transaction. For this business use, this entity is the payer who has the current status information for the identified claims.

When HL03 = 21, the hierarchical level contains the Information Receiver. This entity is receiving the claim status information from the Information Source. For this business use, this entity can be a provider, a provider group, a claims clearinghouse, a service bureau, an agency, an employer, etc. This entity will be identified via their electronic ID.

When HL03 = 19, the hierarchical level contains the Provider of Service. This entity delivered the health care service. Provider of Service is generic in that this could be the entity that originally submitted the claim (Billing Provider) or may be the entity that provided or participated in some aspect of the health care (Rendering Provider).

When HL03 = PT, the hierarchical level contains the Patient information. This entity is the recipient of the health care service rendered.

The Information Receiver and the Service Provider hierarchical levels have a unique relationship. Information Receiver refers to the entity that processes the detailed information contained within the transaction set. In some cases, the Information Receiver is an entity acting on behalf of the Service Provider. When this occurs, the entity is described when HL03 = 21, and the Provider of Service is described when HL03 = 19. In other instances, the Information Receiver is also the Service Provider. When this occurs, the same entity is described at two hierarchical levels - when HL03 = 21 and when HL03 = 19.

The coding examples are presented sequentially as found within an actual transaction set. However, for reading ease each segment begins on a new line.

The following example demonstrates the coding of the segments and data elements within the Information Source hierarchical level:

HL*1**20*1~ 
NM1*PR*2*ABC INSURANCE*****PI*12345~

The following is a coding example of the Information Receiver hierarchical level:

HL*2*1*21*1~ 
NM1*41*2*XYZ SERVICE*****46*X67E~

The following is a coding example of the Service Provider hierarchical level:

HL*3*2*19*1~ 
NM1*1P*2*HOME MEDICAL*****XX*1666666666~

The following is a coding example of the Patient Hierarchical level:

HL*4*3*PT~ 
NM1*QC*1*MANN*JOHN****MI*345678901~

1.4.2 Claim and Service Information

The specific claim and service details are not given a hierarchical level. Claim and service information are positioned in the Patient hierarchical level. The specific claim(s) for which status is being provided is described in Loop 2200D, while the service details follow the claim data in Loop 2220D.

A payer must report status information at the claim level, and when applicable at the service line level using the Status Information (STC) segment. The STC segment reports the status and the effective date of the status. Since the claims reported in this implementation are pending in a payers adjudication system, no payment amounts, paid dates, or check issue dates are included.


1.4.2.1 The Claim

When conveying claim status, the Information Source must provide key data to the Information Receiver in order to identify the claim to which the status applies. The key identifier used by the Information Receiver for identifying the claim within their system is the Patient Control Number. This identifier when submitted on the claim is returned in the Patient Control Number REF Segment in the 2200D loop of the 277 transaction.

The Information Source also supplies the Payer Claim Control Number which is the key identifier for the payer's system. The payer's identifier is provided in the Payer Claim Control Number TRN Segment in the 2200D Loop. This identifier may be used by the Information Receiver to subsequently inquire about claim status, if necessary.

In addition to the reference and trace numbers, the payer transmits information such as the patient name and identifiers, service dates, service codes and claim and service charges, as applicable. This information serves as secondary verification to the reported reference numbers.

Claim Received Date - Payers are required to provide the date the claim was accepted into the payer's adjudication system for processing. This date will assist providers with reviewing the list of pending payer claims. Providers may use the date to calculate, sort, etc. claims by Claim Received Date to identify a claim's age within the payer's processing system.


1.4.2.2 The Service

When a service line is the reason a claim is pended, Loop 2220D is used. The service information follows the Loop 2200D claim data. The SVC segment is used to report the actual service (procedure) data for the pending service line.


1.4.3 Status Information (STC) Segment Usage

The primary vehicle for the claim status information in the 277 Transaction is the Status Information (STC) Segment. The level of information returned in the STC Segment may vary from payer to payer. Payers are urged to provide a greater level of detail information to the Information Receiver so that the data exchange is beneficial to both entities. Payers who meet the minimum required basics, defined in Section 1.4.3.1 - STC Composite and Code Use Rules, may not satisfy the receiver's need for complete and detailed status which could result in the generation of subsequent inquiries to the payer. See Section 1.4.3.1, STC Composite and Code Use Rules, for additional information.

The STC segment contains three iterations of the C043 (Health Care Claim Status) composite within STC01, STC10 and STC11.

The Health Care Claim Status composite (C043) consists of four elements:

  • The first element in the C043 composite (C043-01) is the Health Care Claim Status Category Code (Code Source 507). The Category Code indicates the payer's current system status of the claim. This implementation guide requires the use of Pending Category Codes ('P' Codes).
  • The second element in the C043 composite (C043-02) is either the Health Care Claim Status Code (Code Source 508) or the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs Reject/Payment Codes (Code Source 530). These codes provide more specific information about the claim or line item.
  • The third element in the C043 composite (C043-03) is the Entity Identifier Code (ASC X12 data element 98). The Entity Identifier code is used to clarify the entity when referred to in the status message (C043-02). The code list identifies an organizational entity, a physical location, property, or an individual. A list of appropriate code values for data element 98 appears within the STC segments in Section 2.4.
  • The fourth element in the C043 composite (C043-04) is the Code List Qualifier Code (ASC X12 data element 1270). This element is Situational and only used when identifying the second element of the composite (C043-02) as a National Council for Prescription Drug Programs Reject/Payment Code. When this element is used, it will contain code value 'RX' - National Council for Prescription Drug Programs Reject/Payment Codes.

A committee of healthcare industry representatives from payer, provider and vendor organizations maintain the Health Care Claim Status Category Codes and Health Care Claim Status Codes (Code Sources 507 and 508). They are updated after each ASC X12 trimester meeting. Version specific code additions or deactivations are noted on the code lists.

The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) is the owner of these code lists. The primary distribution source is the Washington Publishing Company web site (www.wpc-edi.com). This web site offers an online conferencing facility that allows interested parties to submit requests for new codes, changes to existing codes, or simply view comments on pending requests. Individuals who are unable to access the Internet may contact BCBSA directly.

The National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) Reject/Payment Codes list is maintained by the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs. For information on the NCPDP Reject/Payment Codes (Code Source 530) refer to Appendix A, External Code Sources.


1.4.3.1 STC Composite and Code Use Rules

The following rules apply to use of the composites and codes within the STC segment:

  • STC01 is required
  • STC10 and STC11 are situational and provide additional status (second and third, respectively). Use of these data elements is encouraged to support the reporting of more detail and a complete message in order to minimize subsequent inquiries.
    For example: The following STC Segment represents a pending claim (P1) which is missing data (21) and the missing data is a detailed description of the service (306).

    STC*P1:21*01012007********P1:306~
  • An Entity Code must be identified when the Health Care Claim Status Code message refers to an Entity. For example the Entity Code '85 - Billing Provider' could be used when Status Code '24 - Entity not approved as an electronic submitter' is used. The Information Source may use an Entity Code to provide a more complete message, even though 'Entity' is not referred to in the status code message.
    For example: The following STC Segment represents a pending claim for which information was requested (P3). The requested information was a Durable Medical Equipment certification (335) which was requested from the entity Durable Medical Equipment Supplier (X5).

    STC*P3:335:X5*01012007~

1.4.4 277 Transaction Uses

The Health Care Information Status Notification (277) transaction set has multiple implementation conventions to meet various business needs of the health care industry. The transaction set can be used to provide healthcare claim information in the following business scenarios:

  • ASC X12 Health Care Claim Pending Status Information (277), which is used as a listing of pending claims in a payer's system. This function is supported in this implementation guide.
  • ASC X12 Health Care Claim Acknowledgement (277), which is a business application response to the ASC X12 837 claim/encounter transactions. This function is not supported in this implementation guide.
  • ASC X12 Health Care Claim Request for Additional information (277), which is a payer's request for additional information to support a health care claim. This function is not supported in this implementation guide.
  • ASC X12 Health Care Claim Status Request and Response (276/277), where the 277 is a response to a request for claim status information. This function is not supported in this implementation guide.

Figure 1.2 illustrates the flow of information related to several usages of the 277. The multiple uses of the 277 claim status are differentiated by values in the ST and BHT Segments of Table 1 data. Element BHT06, in addition to the GS08 value, is used to distinguish between these varied business functions. The various 277 - BHT06 code values are:

  • NO - Notice (Health Care Claim Pending Status Information)
  • TH - Receipt Acknowledgement Advice (Health Care Claim Acknowledgement)
  • RQ - Request (Care Claim Request for Additional information)
  • DG - Response (Health Care Claim Status Request and Response)

1.5 Business Terminology

The following business terms are used in this implementation guide.

Pending claims - Claims that have been accepted into a payer's adjudication system for processing, for which the payer has not completed or resolved validation editing, medical reviews, application of contractual requirements, request for additional information, etc. and finalized adjudication of the claim for reporting in the remittance process.

Finalized claims - Claims that have completed the adjudication process and remittance cycle. The adjudication determination on finalized claims has concluded.


1.6 Transaction Acknowledgments

There are several acknowledgment implementation transactions available for use. The IG developers have noted acknowledgment requirements in this section. Other acknowledgment transactions may be used at the discretion of the trading partners. A statement that the acknowledgment is not required does not preclude its use between willing trading partners.


1.6.1 997 Functional Acknowledgment

The 997 informs the submitter that the functional group arrived at the destination. It may include information about the syntactical quality of the functional group.

The Functional Acknowledgment (997) transaction is not required as a response to receipt of a batch transaction compliant with this implementation guide.

The Functional Acknowledgment (997) transaction is not required as a response to receipt of a real-time transaction compliant with this implementation guide.

A 997 Implementation Guide is being developed for use by the insurance industry and is expected to be available for use with this version of this Implementation Guide.


1.6.2 999 Implementation Acknowledgment

The 999 informs the submitter that the functional group arrived at the destination. It may include information about the syntactical quality of the functional group and the implementation guide compliance.

The Implementation Acknowledgment (999) transaction is not required as a response to receipt of a batch transaction compliant with this implementation guide.

The Implementation Acknowledgment (999) transaction is not required as a response to receipt of a real-time transaction compliant with this implementation guide.

A 999 Implementation Guide is being developed for use by the insurance industry and is expected to be available for use with this version of this Implementation Guide.


1.6.3 824 Application Advice

The 824 informs the submitter of the results of the receiving application system's data content edits of transaction sets.

The Application Advice (824) transaction is not required as a response to receipt of a batch transaction compliant with this implementation guide.

The Application Advice (824) transaction is not required as a response to receipt of a real-time transaction compliant with this implementation guide.

An 824 Implementation Guide is being developed for use by the insurance industry and is expected to be available for use with this version of this Implementation Guide.


1.7 Related Transactions

There are one or more transactions related to the transactions described in this implementation guide.


1.7.1 The Claim (837)

Submitting a claim using the 837 transaction is the first step in the claim adjudication process. The data elements found on the original claim have their source from the provider's billing system. When the payer generates the Health Care Claim Pending Status Information transaction, data from the original claim is returned to the Information Receiver on the 277 to facilitate locating the claim within their system.


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 The HIPAA Role in Implementation Guides

Administrative Simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (PL 104-191 - known as HIPAA) direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to adopt standards for transactions to enable health information to be exchanged electronically and to adopt specifications for implementing each standard.

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 HIPAA standard. Should the Secretary adopt this implementation guide as a standard, the Secretary will establish compliance dates for its use by HIPAA covered entities.


1.10 Data Overview

This section introduces the structures of the 277. Familiarity with ASC X12 nomenclature, segments, data elements, hierarchical levels, and looping structure is recommended. For a review, see Appendix B, Nomenclature and Appendix C, EDI Control Directory.


1.10.1 Overall Data Architecture

The transaction set is divided into two levels, or tables, Table 1 and Table 2.

Table 1
Table 1 is named the Header Level and contains the transaction control information. The ST segment identifies the start of a transaction and the specific transaction set. The BHT identifies the transactions business purpose and the hierarchical structure used in Table 2.

Table 2
Table 2 is named the Detail Level because it contains the detail information for the business function of the transactions. This table uses the hierarchical level structure. Each hierarchical level (HL) is a series of loops, which are identified by numbers. The hierarchical level that identifies the patient is Loop ID- 2000D. The patient name is contained in Loop ID-2100D. Specific claim details begin with Loop ID-2200D.

The following are HL segment coding examples and the data element significance within the HL segments:

HL*1**20*1~
Information Source level
HL*2*1*21*1~  
Information Receiver level
HL*3*2*19*1~
Service Provider level
HL*4*3*PT~
Patient level
  • HLs are sequentially numbered. The sequential number is found in HL01, which is the first data element in the HL segment.
  • The second element, HL02, indicates the sequential number of the parent hierarchical level to which this hierarchical level is subordinate. The absence of a data value in HL02, indicates it is the highest hierarchical level. In this example, the Information Source is the highest parent. The Information Receiver level is subordinate to the Information Source hierarchical level numbered 1 (HL01 =1). The provider of service level is subordinate to the Information Receiver hierarchical level numbered 2 (HL01=2), etc.
  • The data value in data element HL03 describes the hierarchical level entity. For example, when HL03 = 20, the hierarchical level is the Information Source. When HL03 = PT, the hierarchical level is the Patient.
  • Data element HL04 indicates whether or not child (subordinate) hierarchical levels exist. A value of "1" indicates subordinate hierarchical levels exist. A value of "0" or the absence of a data value indicates that no subordinate hierarchical levels exist.

2. Transaction Set

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


2.1 Presentation Examples

The ASC 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:

2.3 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.

2.4 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.

The first form is "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 or requested by the receiver, transmission of this data is solely at the sender's discretion.

The alternative form is "Required when <explicit condition statement>. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send." The data qualified by such a situational rule cannot be sent except as described in the explicit condition statement.


2.2.1.1 Transaction Compliance Related to Industry Usage

A transmitted transaction complies with an implementation guide when it satisfies the requirements as defined within the implementation guide. 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.

Required

Business condition: N/A

Item is Transaction complies with implementation guide?
Sent Yes
Not Sent No
Not Used

Business condition: N/A

Item is Transaction complies with implementation guide?
Sent No
Not Sent Yes
Situational (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.

Business Condition is Item is Transaction complies with implementation guide?
True Sent Yes
Not Sent No
Not True Sent Yes
Not Sent Yes
Situational (Required when [explicit condition statement])

If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.

Business Condition is Item is Transaction complies with implementation guide?
True Sent Yes
Not Sent No
Not True Sent No
Not Sent Yes

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

B.1.1 Interchange and Application Control Structures

Appendix B is provided as a reference to the X12 syntax, usage, and related information. It is not a full statement of Interchange and Control Structure rules. The full X12 Interchange and Control Structures and other rules (X12.5, X12.6, X12.59, X12 dictionaries, other X12 standards and official documents) apply unless specifically modified in the detailed instructions of this implementation guide (see Section B.1.1.3.1.2 for an example of such a modification).


B.1.1.1 Interchange Control Structure

The transmission of data proceeds according to very strict format rules to ensure the integrity and maintain the efficiency of the interchange. Each business grouping of data is called a transaction set. For instance, a group of benefit enrollments sent from a sponsor to a payer is considered a transaction set.

Each transaction set contains groups of logically related data in units called segments. For instance, the N4 segment used in the transaction set conveys the city, state, ZIP Code, and other geographic information. A transaction set contains multiple segments, so the addresses of the different parties, for example, can be conveyed from one computer to the other. An analogy would be that the transaction set is like a freight train; the segments are like the train's cars; and each segment can contain several data elements the same as a train car can hold multiple crates.

The sequence of the elements within one segment is specified by the ASC X12 standard as well as the sequence of segments in the transaction set. In a more conventional computing environment, the segments would be equivalent to records, and the elements equivalent to fields.

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.

Figure B.1 - Transmission Control Schematic

Transmission Control Schematic

The interchange header and trailer segments envelop one or more functional groups or interchange-related control segments and perform the following functions:

  1. Define the data element separators and the data segment terminator.
  2. Identify the sender and receiver.
  3. Provide control information for the interchange.
  4. Allow for authorization and security information.

B.1.1.2.1 Basic Structure

A data element corresponds to a data field in data processing terminology. A data segment corresponds to a record in data processing terminology. The data segment begins with a segment ID and contains related data elements. A control segment has the same structure as a data segment; the distinction is in the use. The data segment is used primarily to convey user information, but the control segment is used primarily to convey control information and to group data segments.


B.1.1.2.2 Basic Character Set

The section that follows is designed to have representation in the common character code schemes of EBCDIC, ASCII, and CCITT International Alphabet 5. The ASC X12 standards are graphic-character-oriented; therefore, common character encoding schemes other than those specified herein may be used as long as a common mapping is available. Because the graphic characters have an implied mapping across character code schemes, those bit patterns are not provided here.

The basic character set of this standard, shown in Figure B.2., Basic Character Set, includes those selected from the uppercase letters, digits, space, and special characters as specified below.

Figure B.2 - Basic Character Set

A...Z 0...9 ! " & ' ( ) * +
, - . / : ; ? = " " (space)

B.1.1.2.3 Extended Character Set

An extended character set may be used by negotiation between the two parties and includes the lowercase letters and other special characters as specified in Figure B.3., Extended Character Set.

a..z % ~ @ [ ] _ { }
\ | < > ^ ' # $


Note that the extended characters include several character codes that have multiple graphical representations for a specific bit pattern. The complete list appears in other standards such as CCITT S.5. Use of the USA graphics for these codes presents no problem unless data is exchanged with an international partner. Other problems, such as the translation of item descriptions from English to French, arise when exchanging data with an international partner, but minimizing the use of codes with multiple graphics eliminates one of the more obvious problems.

For implementations compliant with this guide, either the entire extended character set must be acceptable, or the entire extended character set must not be used. In the absence of a specific trading partner agreement to the contrary, trading partners will assume that the extended character set is acceptable. Use of the extended character set allows the use of the "@" character in email addresses within the PER segment. Users should note that characters in the extended character set, as well as the basic character set, may be used as delimiters only when they do not occur in the data as stated in Section B.1.1.2.5.


B.1.1.2.4 Control Characters

Two control character groups are specified; they have restricted usage. The common notation for these groups is also provided, together with the character coding in three common alphabets. In the Matrix B.1., Base Control Set, the column IA5 represents CCITT V.3 International Alphabet 5.


B.1.1.2.4.1 Base Control Set

The base control set includes those characters that will not have a disruptive effect on most communication protocols. These are represented by:

Matrix B.1. Base Control Set

NOTATION NAME EBCDIC ASCII IA5
BEL bell 2F 07 07
HT horizontal tab 05 09 09
LF line feed 25 0A 0A
VT vertical tab 0B 0B 0B
FF form feed 0C 0C 0C
CR carriage return 0D 0D 0D
FS file separator 1C 1C 1C
GS group separator 1D 1D 1D
RS record separator 1E 1E 1E
US unit separator 1F 1F 1F
NL new line 15


The Group Separator (GS) may be an exception in this set because it is used in the 3780 communications protocol to indicate blank space compression.


B.1.1.2.4.2 Extended Control Set

The extended control set includes those that may have an effect on a transmission system. These are shown in Matrix B.2., Extended Control Set.

Matrix B.2. Extended Control Set

NOTATION NAME EBCDIC ASCII IA5

DC4 device control 4 3C 14 14
NAK negative acknowledge 3D 15 15
SYN synchronous idle 32 16 16
ETB end of block 26 17 17


The Group Separator (GS) may be an exception in this set because it is used in the 3780 communications protocol to indicate blank space compression.


B.1.1.2.4.5 Delimiters

A delimiter is a character used to separate two data elements or component elements or to terminate a segment. The delimiters are an integral part of the data.

Delimiters are specified in the interchange header segment, ISA. The ISA segment can be considered in implementations compliant with this guide (see Appendix C, ISA Segment Note 1) to be a 105 byte fixed length record, followed by a segment terminator. The data element separator is byte number 4; the repetition separator is byte number 83; the component element separator is byte number 105; and the segment terminator is the byte that immediately follows the component element separator.

Once specified in the interchange header, the delimiters are not to be used in a data element value elsewhere in the interchange. For consistency, this implementation guide uses the delimiters shown in Matrix B.3., Delimiters, in all examples of EDI transmissions.

Matrix B.3. Delimiters

CHARACTER NAME DELIMITER
* Asterisk Data Element Separator
^ Caret Repetition Separator
: Colon Component Element Separator
~ Tilde Segment Terminator


The delimiters above are for illustration purposes only and are not specific recommendations or requirements. Users of this implementation guide should be aware that an application system may use some valid delimiter characters within the application data. Occurrences of delimiter characters in transmitted data within a data element will result in errors in translation. The existence of asterisks (*) within transmitted application data is a known issue that can affect translation software.


B.1.1.3 Business Transaction Structure Definitions and Concepts

The ASC X12 standards define commonly used business transactions (such as a health care claim) in a formal structure called "transaction sets." A transaction set is composed of a transaction set header control segment, one or more data segments, and a transaction set trailer control segment. Each segment is composed of the following:

  • A unique segment ID
  • One or more logically related data elements each preceded by a data element separator
  • A segment terminator

B.1.1.3.1 Data Element

The data element is the smallest named unit of information in the ASC X12 standard. Data elements are identified as either simple or component. A data element that occurs as an ordinally positioned member of a composite data structure is identified as a component data element. A data element that occurs in a segment outside the defined boundaries of a composite data structure is identified as a simple data element. The distinction between simple and component data elements is strictly a matter of context because a data element can be used in either capacity.

Data elements are assigned a unique reference number. Each data element has a name, description, type, minimum length, and maximum length. For ID type data elements, this guide provides the applicable ASC X12 code values and their descriptions or references where the valid code list can be obtained.

A simple data element within a segment may have an attribute indicating that it may occur once or a specific number of times more than once. The number of permitted repeats are defined as an attribute in the individual segment where the repeated data element occurs.

Each data element is assigned a minimum and maximum length. The length of the data element value is the number of character positions used except as noted for numeric, decimal, and binary elements.

The data element types shown in Matrix B.4., Data Element Types, appear in this implementation guide.

Matrix B.4. Data Element Types

SYMBOL TYPE
Nn Numeric
R Decimal
ID Identifier
AN String
DT Date
TM Time
B Binary


The data element minimum and maximum lengths may be restricted in this implementation guide for a compliant implementation. Such restrictions may occur by virtue of the allowed qualifier for the data element or by specific instructions regarding length or format as stated in this implementation guide.


B.1.1.3.1.1 Numeric

A numeric data element is represented by one or more digits with an optional leading sign representing a value in the normal base of 10. The value of a numeric data element includes an implied decimal point. It is used when the position of the decimal point within the data is permanently fixed and is not to be transmitted with the data.

This set of guides denotes the number of implied decimal positions. The representation for this data element type is "Nn" where N indicates that it is numeric and n indicates the number of decimal positions to the right of the implied decimal point.

If n is 0, it need not appear in the specification; N is equivalent to N0. For negative values, the leading minus sign (-) is used. Absence of a sign indicates a positive value. The plus sign (+) must not be transmitted.

EXAMPLE
A transmitted value of 1234, when specified as numeric type N2, represents a value of 12.34.

Leading zeros must be suppressed unless necessary to satisfy a minimum length requirement. The length of a numeric type data element does not include the optional sign.


B.1.1.3.1.2 Decimal

A decimal data element may contain an explicit decimal point and is used for numeric values that have a varying number of decimal positions. This data element type is represented as "R."

The decimal point always appears in the character stream if the decimal point is at any place other than the right end. If the value is an integer (decimal point at the right end) the decimal point must be omitted. For negative values, the leading minus sign (-) is used. Absence of a sign indicates a positive value. The plus sign (+) must not be transmitted.

Leading zeros must be suppressed unless necessary to satisfy a minimum length requirement. Trailing zeros following the decimal point must be suppressed unless necessary to indicate precision. The use of triad separators (for example, the commas in 1,000,000) is expressly prohibited. The length of a decimal type data element does not include the optional leading sign or decimal point.

EXAMPLE
A transmitted value of 12.34 represents a decimal value of 12.34.

While the ASC X12 standard supports usage of exponential notation, this guide prohibits that usage.

For implementation of this guide under the rules promulgated under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), decimal data elements in Data Element 782 (Monetary Amount) will be limited to a maximum length of 10 characters including reported or implied places for cents (implied value of 00 after the decimal point). Note the statement in the preceding paragraph that the decimal point and leading sign, if sent, are not part of the character count.

EXAMPLE
For implementations mandated under HIPAA rules:

  • The following transmitted value represents the largest positive dollar amount that can be sent:
    99999999.99
  • The following transmitted value is the longest string of characters that can be sent representing whole dollars.
    99999999
  • The following transmitted value is the longest string of characters that can be sent representing negative dollars and cents.
    -99999999.99
  • The following transmitted value is the longest string of characters that can be sent representing negative whole dollars.
    -99999999

B.1.1.3.1.3 Identifier

An identifier data element always contains a value from a predefined list of codes that is maintained by the ASC X12 Committee or some other body recognized by the Committee. Trailing spaces must be suppressed unless they are necessary to satisfy a minimum length. An identifier is always left justified. The representation for this data element type is "ID."


B.1.1.3.1.4 String

A string data element is a sequence of any characters from the basic or extended character sets. The string data element must contain at least one non-space character. The significant characters shall be left justified. Leading spaces, when they occur, are presumed to be significant characters. Trailing spaces must be suppressed unless they are necessary to satisfy a minimum length. The representation for this data element type is "AN."


B.1.1.3.1.5 Date

A date data element is used to express the standard date in either YYMMDD or CCYYMMDD format in which CC is the first two digits of the calendar year, YY is the last two digits of the calendar year, MM is the month (01 to 12), and DD is the day in the month (01 to 31). The representation for this data element type is "DT." Users of this guide should note that all dates within transactions are 8-character dates (millennium compliant) in the format CCYYMMDD. The only date data element that is in format YYMMDD is the Interchange Date data element in the ISA segment and the TA1 segment where the century is easily determined because of the nature of an interchange header.


B.1.1.3.1.6 Time

A time data element is used to express the ISO standard time HHMMSSd..d format in which HH is the hour for a 24 hour clock (00 to 23), MM is the minute (00 to 59), SS is the second (00 to 59) and d..d is decimal seconds. The representation for this data element type is "TM." The length of the data element determines the format of the transmitted time.

EXAMPLE
Transmitted data elements of four characters denote HHMM. Transmitted data elements of six characters denote HHMMSS.


B.1.1.3.1.7 Binary

The binary data element is any sequence of octets ranging in value from binary 00000000 to binary 11111111. This data element type has no defined maximum length. Actual length is specified by the immediately preceding data element. Within the body of a transaction set (from ST to SE) implemented according to this technical report, the binary data element type is only used in the segments Binary Data Segment BIN, and Binary Data Structure BDS. Within those segments, Data Element 785 Binary Data is a string of octets which can assume any binary pattern from hexadecimal 00 to FF, and can be used to send text as well as coded data, including data from another application in its native format. The binary data type is also used in some control and security structures.

Not all transaction sets use the Binary Data Segment BIN or Binary Data Structure BDS.


B.1.1.3.2 Repeating Data Elements

Simple or composite data elements within a segment can be designated as repeating data elements. Repeating data elements are adjacent data elements that occur up to a number of times specified in the standard as number of repeats. The implementation guide may also specify the number of repeats of a repeating data element in a specific location in the transaction that are permitted in a compliant implementation. Adjacent occurrences of the same repeating simple data element or composite data structure in a segment shall be separated by a repetition separator.


B.1.1.3.3 Composite Data Structure

The composite data structure is an intermediate unit of information in a segment. Composite data structures are composed of one or more logically related simple data elements, each, except the last, followed by a sub-element separator. The final data element is followed by the next data element separator or the segment terminator. Each simple data element within a composite is called a component.

Each composite data structure has a unique four-character identifier, a name, and a purpose. The identifier serves as a label for the composite. A composite data structure can be further defined through the use of syntax notes, semantic notes, and comments. Each component within the composite is further characterized by a reference designator and a condition designator. The reference designators and the condition designators are described in Sections B.1.1.3.8 and B.1.1.3.9.

A composite data structure within a segment may have an attribute indicating that it may occur once or a specific number of times more than once. The number of permitted repeats are defined as an attribute in the individual segment where the repeated composite data structure occurs.


B.1.1.3.4 Data Segment

The data segment is an intermediate unit of information in a transaction set. In the data stream, a data segment consists of a segment identifier, one or more composite data structures or simple data elements each preceded by a data element separator and succeeded by a segment terminator.

Each data segment has a unique two- or three-character identifier, a name, and a purpose. The identifier serves as a label for the data segment. A segment can be further defined through the use of syntax notes, semantic notes, and comments. Each simple data element or composite data structure within the segment is further characterized by a reference designator and a condition designator.


B.1.1.3.5 Syntax Notes

Syntax notes describe relational conditions among two or more data segment units within the same segment, or among two or more component data elements within the same composite data structure. For a complete description of the relational conditions, See B.1.1.3.9, Condition Designator.


B.1.1.3.6 Semantic Notes

Simple data elements or composite data structures may be referenced by a semantic note within a particular segment. A semantic note provides important additional information regarding the intended meaning of a designated data element, particularly a generic type, in the context of its use within a specific data segment. Semantic notes may also define a relational condition among data elements in a segment based on the presence of a specific value (or one of a set of values) in one of the data elements.


B.1.1.3.7 Comments

A segment comment provides additional information regarding the intended use of the segment.


B.1.1.3.8 Reference Designator

Each simple data element or composite data structure in a segment is provided a structured code that indicates the segment in which it is used and the sequential position within the segment. The code is composed of the segment identifier followed by a two-digit number that defines the position of the simple data element or composite data structure in that segment.

For purposes of creating reference designators, the composite data structure is viewed as the hierarchical equal of the simple data element. Each component data element in a composite data structure is identified by a suffix appended to the reference designator for the composite data structure of which it is a member. This suffix is prefixed with a hyphen and defines the position of the component data element in the composite data structure.

EXAMPLE

  • The first simple element of the CLP segment would be identified as CLP01.
  • The first position in the SVC segment is occupied by a composite data structure that contains seven component data elements, the reference designator for the second component data element would be SVC01-02.

B.1.1.3.9 Condition Designator

This section provides information about X12 standard conditions designators. It is provided so that users will have information about the general standard. Implementation guides may impose other conditions designators. See implementation guide section 2.1 Presentation Examples for detailed information about the implementation guide Industry Usage requirements for compliant implementation.

Data element conditions are of three types: mandatory, optional, and relational. They define the circumstances under which a data element may be required to be present or not present in a particular segment.

Table B.5. Condition Designator

DESIGNATOR DESCRIPTION
M- Mandatory The designation of mandatory is absolute in the sense that there is no dependency on other data elements. This designation may apply to either simple data elements or composite data structures. If the designation applies to a composite data structure, then at least one value of a component data element in that composite data structure shall be included in the data segment.
O- Optional The designation of optional means that there is no requirement for a simple data element or composite data structure to be present in the segment. The presence of a value for a simple data element or the presence of value for any of the component data elements of a composite data structure is at the option of the sender.
X- Relational Relational conditions may exist among two or more simple data elements within the same data segment based on the presence or absence of one of those data elements (presence means a data element must not be empty). Relational conditions are specified by a condition code (see table below) and the reference designators of the affected data elements. A data element may be subject to more than one relational condition. The definitions for each of the condition codes used within syntax notes are detailed below:
CONDITION CODE DEFINITION
P- Paired or Multiple If any element specified in the relational condition is present, then all of the elements specified must be present.
R- Required At least one of the elements specified in the condition must be present.
E- Exclusion Not more than one of the elements specified in the condition may be present.
C- Conditional If the first element specified in the condition is present, then all other elements must be present. However, any or all of the elements not specified as the first element in the condition may appear without requiring that the first element be present. The order of the elements in the condition does not have to be the same as the order of the data elements in the data segment.
L- List Conditional If the first element specified in the condition is present, then at least one of the remaining elements must be present. However, any or all of the elements not specified as the first element in the condition may appear without requiring that the first element be present. The order of the elements in the condition does not have to be the same as the order of the data elements in the data segment.

B.1.1.3.10 Absence of Data

Any simple data element that is indicated as mandatory must not be empty if the segment is used. At least one component data element of a composite data structure that is indicated as mandatory must not be empty if the segment is used. Optional simple data elements and/or composite data structures and their preceding data element separators that are not needed must be omitted if they occur at the end of a segment. If they do not occur at the end of the segment, the simple data element values and/or composite data structure values may be omitted. Their absence is indicated by the occurrence of their preceding data element separators, in order to maintain the element's or structure's position as defined in the data segment.

Likewise, when additional information is not necessary within a composite, the composite may be terminated by providing the appropriate data element separator or segment terminator.

If a segment has no data in any data element within the segment (an "empty" segment), that segment must not be sent.


B.1.1.3.11 Control Segments

A control segment has the same structure as a data segment, but it is used for transferring control information rather than application information.


B.1.1.3.11.1 Loop Control Segments

Loop control segments are used only to delineate bounded loops. Delineation of the loop shall consist of the loop header (LS segment) and the loop trailer (LE segment). The loop header defines the start of a structure that must contain one or more iterations of a loop of data segments and provides the loop identifier for this loop. The loop trailer defines the end of the structure. The LS segment appears only before the first occurrence of the loop, and the LE segment appears only after the last occurrence of the loop. Unbounded looping structures do not use loop control segments.


B.1.1.3.11.2 Transaction Set Control Segments

The transaction set is delineated by the transaction set header (ST segment) and the transaction set trailer (SE segment). The transaction set header identifies the start and identifier of the transaction set. The transaction set trailer identifies the end of the transaction set and provides a count of the data segments, which includes the ST and SE segments.


B.1.1.3.11.3 Functional Group Control Segments

The functional group is delineated by the functional group header (GS segment) and the functional group trailer (GE segment). The functional group header starts and identifies one or more related transaction sets and provides a control number and application identification information. The functional group trailer defines the end of the functional group of related transaction sets and provides a count of contained transaction sets.


B.1.1.3.11.4 Relations among Control Segments

The control segment of this standard must have a nested relationship as is shown and annotated in this subsection. The letters preceding the control segment name are the segment identifier for that control segment. The indentation of segment identifiers shown below indicates the subordination among control segments.

GS Functional Group Header, starts a group of related transaction sets.

ST Transaction Set Header, starts a transaction set.

LS Loop Header, starts a bounded loop of data segments but is not part of the loop.

LS Loop Header, starts an inner, nested, bounded loop.

LE Loop Trailer, ends an inner, nested bounded loop.

LE Loop Trailer, ends a bounded loop of data segments but is not part of the loop.

SE Transaction Set Trailer, ends a transaction set.

GE Functional Group Trailer, ends a group of related transaction sets.

More than one ST/SE pair, each representing a transaction set, may be used within one functional group. Also more than one LS/LE pair, each representing a bounded loop, may be used within one transaction set.


B.1.1.3.12 Transaction Set

The transaction set is the smallest meaningful set of information exchanged between trading partners. The transaction set consists of a transaction set header segment, one or more data segments in a specified order, and a transaction set trailer segment. See Figure B.1., Transmission Control Schematic.


B.1.1.3.12.1 Transaction Set Header and Trailer

A transaction set identifier uniquely identifies a transaction set. This identifier is the first data element of the Transaction Set Header Segment (ST). A user assigned transaction set control number in the header must match the control number in the Trailer Segment (SE) for any given transaction set. The value for the number of included segments in the SE segment is the total number of segments in the transaction set, including the ST and SE segments.


B.1.1.3.12.2 Data Segment Groups

The data segments in a transaction set may be repeated as individual data segments or as unbounded or bounded loops.


B.1.1.3.12.3 Repeated Occurrences of Single Data Segments

When a single data segment is allowed to be repeated, it may have a specified maximum number of occurrences defined at each specified position within a given transaction set standard. Alternatively, a segment may be allowed to repeat an unlimited number of times. The notation for an unlimited number of repetitions is ">1."


B.1.1.3.12.4 Loops of Data Segments

Loops are groups of semantically related segments. Data segment loops may be unbounded or bounded.


B.1.1.3.12.4.1 Unbounded Loops

To establish the iteration of a loop, the first data segment in the loop must appear once and only once in each iteration. Loops may have a specified maximum number of repetitions. Alternatively, the loop may be specified as having an unlimited number of iterations. The notation for an unlimited number of repetitions is ">1."

A specified sequence of segments is in the loop. Loops themselves are optional or mandatory. The requirement designator of the beginning segment of a loop indicates whether at least one occurrence of the loop is required. Each appearance of the beginning segment defines an occurrence of the loop.

The requirement designator of any segment within the loop after the beginning segment applies to that segment for each occurrence of the loop. If there is a mandatory requirement designator for any data segment within the loop after the beginning segment, that data segment is mandatory for each occurrence of the loop. If the loop is optional, the mandatory segment only occurs if the loop occurs.


B.1.1.3.12.4.2 Bounded Loops

The characteristics of unbounded loops described previously also apply to bounded loops. In addition, bounded loops require a Loop Start Segment (LS) to appear before the first occurrence and a Loop End Segment (LE) to appear after the last consecutive occurrence of the loop. If the loop does not occur, the LS and LE segments are suppressed.


B.1.1.3.12.5 Data Segments in a Transaction Set

When data segments are combined to form a transaction set, three characteristics are applied to each data segment: a requirement designator, a position in the transaction set, and a maximum occurrence.


B.1.1.3.12.6 Data Segment Requirement Designators

A data segment, or loop, has one of the following requirement designators for health care and insurance transaction sets, indicating its appearance in the data stream of a transmission. These requirement designators are represented by a single character code.

DESIGNATOR DESCRIPTION
M- Mandatory This data segment must be included in the transaction set. (Note that a data segment may be mandatory in a loop of data segments, but the loop itself is optional if the beginning segment of the loop is designated as optional.)
O- Optional The presence of this data segment is the option of the sending party.

B.1.1.3.12.7 Data Segment Position

The ordinal positions of the segments in a transaction set are explicitly specified for that transaction. Subject to the flexibility provided by the optional requirement designators of the segments, this positioning must be maintained.


B.1.1.3.12.8 Data Segment Occurrence

A data segment may have a maximum occurrence of one, a finite number greater than one, or an unlimited number indicated by ">1."


B.1.1.3.13 Functional Group

A functional group is a group of similar transaction sets that is bounded by a functional group header segment and a functional group trailer segment. The functional identifier defines the group of transactions that may be included within the functional group. The value for the functional group control number in the header and trailer control segments must be identical for any given group. The value for the number of included transaction sets is the total number of transaction sets in the group. See Figure B.1., Transmission Control Schematic.


B.1.1.4.1 Interchange Control Structures

Typically, the term "interchange" connotes the ISA/IEA envelope that is transmitted between trading/business partners. Interchange control is achieved through several "control" components. The interchange control number is contained in data element ISA13 of the ISA segment. The identical control number must also occur in data element 02 of the IEA segment. Most commercial translation software products will verify that these two elements are identical. In most translation software products, if these elements are different the interchange will be "suspended" in error.

There are many other features of the ISA segment that are used for control measures. For instance, the ISA segment contains data elements such as authorization information, security information, sender identification, and receiver identification that can be used for control purposes. These data elements are agreed upon by the trading partners prior to transmission. The interchange date and time data elements as well as the interchange control number within the ISA segment are used for debugging purposes when there is a problem with the transmission or the interchange.

Data Element ISA12, Interchange Control Version Number, indicates the version of the ISA/IEA envelope. GS08 indicates the version of the transaction sets contained within the ISA/IEA envelope. The versions are not required to be the same. An Interchange Acknowledgment can be requested through data element ISA14. The interchange acknowlegement is the TA1 segment. Data element ISA15, Test Indicator, is used between trading partners to indicate that the transmission is in a "test" or "production" mode. Data element ISA16, Subelement Separator, is used by the translator for interpretation of composite data elements.

The ending component of the interchange or ISA/IEA envelope is the IEA segment. Data element IEA01 indicates the number of functional groups that are included within the interchange. In most commercial translation software products, an aggregate count of functional groups is kept while interpreting the interchange. This count is then verified with data element IEA01. If there is a discrepancy, in most commercial products, the interchange is suspended. The other data element in the IEA segment is IEA02 which is referenced above.

See the Appendix C, EDI Control Directory, for a complete detailing of the interchange control header and trailer. The authors recommend that when two transactions with different X12 versions numbers are sent in one interchange control structure (multiple functional groups within one ISA/IEA envelope), the Interchange Control version used should be that of the most recent transaction version included in the envelope. For the transmission of HIPAA transactions with mixed versions, this would be a compliant enveloping structure.


B.1.1.4.2 Functional Groups

Control structures within the functional group envelope include the functional identifier code in GS01. The Functional Identifier Code is used by the commercial translation software during interpretation of the interchange to determine the different transaction sets that may be included within the functional group. If an inappropriate transaction set is contained within the functional group, most commercial translation software will suspend the functional group within the interchange. The Application Sender's Code in GS02 can be used to identify the sending unit of the transmission. The Application Receiver's Code in GS03 can be used to identify the receiving unit of the transmission. The functional group contains a creation date (GS04) and creation time (GS05) for the functional group. The Group Control Number is contained in GS06. These data elements (GS04, GS05, and GS06) can be used for debugging purposes. GS08,Version/Release/ Industry Identifier Code is the version/release/sub-release of the transaction sets being transmitted in this functional group.

The Functional Group Control Number in GS06 must be identical to data element 02 of the GE segment. Data element GE01 indicates the number of transaction sets within the functional group. In most commercial translation software products, an aggregate count of the transaction sets is kept while interpreting the functional group. This count is then verified with data element GE01.

See the Appendix C, EDI Control Directory, for a complete detailing of the functional group header and trailer.


B.1.1.4.3 HL Structures

The HL segment is used in several X12 transaction sets to identify levels of detail information using a hierarchical structure, such as relating dependents to a subscriber. Hierarchical levels may differ from guide to guide.

For example, each provider can bill for one or more subscribers, each subscriber can have one or more dependents and the subscriber and the dependents can make one or more claims.

Each guide states what levels are available, the level's usage, number of repeats, and whether that level has subordinate levels within a transaction set.

For implementations compliant with this guide, the repeats of the loops identified by the HL structure shall appear in the hierarchical order specified in BHT01, when those particular hierarchical levels exist. That is, an HL parent loop must be followed by the subordinate child loops, if any, prior to commencing a new HL parent loop at the same hierarchical level.

The following diagram, from transaction set 837, illustrates a typical hierarchy.

The two examples below illustrate this requirement:

Example 1 based on Implementation Guide 811X201:

INSURER

First STATE in transaction (child of INSURER)

First POLICY in transaction (child of first STATE)

First VEHICLE in transaction (child of first POLICY)

Second POLICY in transaction (child of first STATE)

Second VEHICLE in transaction (child of second POLICY)

Third VEHICLE in transaction (child of second POLICY)

Second STATE in transaction (child of INSURER)

Third POLICY in transaction (child of second STATE)

Fourth VEHICLE in transaction (child of third POLICY)


Example 2 based on Implementation Guide 837X141

First PROVIDER in transaction

First SUBSCRIBER in transaction (child of first PROVIDER)

Second PROVIDER in transaction

Second SUBSCRIBER in transaction (child of second PROVIDER)

First DEPENDENT in transaction (child of second SUBSCRIBER)

Second DEPENDENT in transaction (child of second SUBSCRIBER)

Third SUBSCRIBER in transaction (child of second PROVIDER)

Third PROVIDER in transaction

Fourth SUBSCRIBER in transaction (child of third PROVIDER)

Third DEPENDENT in transaction (child of fifth SUBSCRIBER)


B.1.1.5.1 Interchange Acknowledgment, TA1

The TA1 segment provides the capability for the interchange receiver to notify the sender that a valid envelope was received or that problems were encountered with the interchange control structure. The TA1 verifies the envelopes only. Transaction set-specific verification is accomplished through use of the Functional Acknowledgment Transaction Set, 997. See B.1.1.5.2, Functional Acknowledgment, 997, for more details. The TA1 is unique in that it is a single segment transmitted without the GS/GE envelope structure. A TA1 can be included in an interchange with other functional groups and transactions.

Encompassed in the TA1 are the interchange control number, interchange date and time, interchange acknowledgment code, and the interchange note code. The interchange control number, interchange date and time are identical to those that were present in the transmitted interchange from the trading partner. This provides the capability to associate the TA1 with the transmitted interchange. TA104, Interchange Acknowledgment Code, indicates the status of the interchange control structure. This data element stipulates whether the transmitted interchange was accepted with no errors, accepted with errors, or rejected because of errors. TA105, Interchange Note Code, is a numerical code that indicates the error found while processing the interchange control structure. Values for this data element indicate whether the error occurred at the interchange or functional group envelope.


B.1.1.5.2 Functional Acknowledgment, 997

The Functional Acknowledgment Transaction Set, 997, has been designed to allow trading partners to establish a comprehensive control function as a part of their business exchange process. This acknowledgment process facilitates control of EDI. There is a one-to-one correspondence between a 997 and a functional group. Segments within the 997 can identify the acceptance or rejection of the functional group, transaction sets or segments. Data elements in error can also be identified. There are many EDI implementations that have incorporated the acknowledgment process in all of their electronic communications. The 997 is used as a functional acknowledgment to a previously transmitted functional group.

The 997 is a transaction set and thus is encapsulated within the interchange control structure (envelopes) for transmission.


B.2 Object Descriptors

Object Descriptors (OD) provide a method to uniquely identify specific locations within an implementation guide. There is an OD assigned at every level of the X12N implementation:

  1. Transaction Set
  2. Loop
  3. Segment
  4. Composite Data Element
  5. Component Data Element
  6. Simple Data Element

ODs at the first four levels are coded using X12 identifiers separated by underbars:

Entity Example
1. Transaction Set Identifier plus a unique 2 character value 837Q1
2. Above plus under bar plus Loop Identifier as assigned within an implementation guide 837Q1_2330C
3. Above plus under bar plus Segment Identifier 837Q1_2330C_NM1
4. Above plus Reference Designator plus under bar plus Composite Identifier 837Q1_2400_SV101_C003

The fifth and sixth levels add a name derived from the "Industry Term" defined in the X12N Data Dictionary. The name is derived by removing the spaces.

Entity Example
5. Number 4 above plus composite sequence plus under bar plus name 837Q1_2400_SV101_C00302_ProcedureCode
6. Number 3 above plus Reference Designator plus two under bars plusname 837Q1_2330C_NM109__OtherPayerPatientPrimaryIdentifier

Said in another way, ODs contain a coded component specifying a location in an implementation guide, a separator, and a name portion. For example:

Since ODs are unique across all X12N implementation guides, they can be used for a variety of purposes. For example, as a cross reference to older data transmission systems, like the National Standard Format for health care claims, or to form XML tags for newer data transmission systems.
