X12 277 Health Care Information Status Notification (X212)

X12 Release 5010

This X12 Transaction Set contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Health Care Information Status Notification Transaction Set (277) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set can be used by a health care payer or authorized agent to notify a provider, recipient, or authorized agent regarding the status of a health care claim or encounter or to request additional information from the provider regarding a health care claim or encounter, health care services review, or transactions related to the provisions of health care. This transaction set is not intended to replace the Health Care Claim Payment/Advice Transaction Set (835) and therefore, will not be used for account payment posting. The notification may be at a summary or service line detail level. The notification may be solicited or unsolicited.

To supply the full name of an individual or organizational entity

Usage notes
  • During the transition to NPI, for those health care providers covered under the NPI mandate, two iterations of the 2100C Loop may be sent to accommodate reporting dual provider identification numbers (NPI and Legacy). When two iterations are reported, the NPI number will be in the iteration where the NM108 qualifier will be 'XX' and the legacy number will be in the iteration where the NM108 qualifier will be either 'SV' or 'FI'.
  • 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.
