X12 277 Data Reporting Acknowledgment (X364)

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.

When used, this implementation convention reference takes precedence over the implementation reference specified in the GS08.
Usage notes
  • This field contains the same value as data element GS08. The value is 005010X364. Some translator products strip off the ISA and GS segments prior to application (ST - SE) processing. Providing the information from GS08 at this level will help ensure the appropriate application mapping is utilized at translation time.

RequiredMax use 1

To specify any or all of a date, a time, or a time period

Usage notes
  • For Institutional and Data Reporting claims, this is the statement period submitted in Loop ID 2300 (DTP01 = 434).

the service date in Loop ID 2400 (DTP01=472),
OR
it is the treatment start in Loop ID ID 2400 (DTP01=196),
OR
