Information Receiver Contact Information

OptionalMax use 1

To identify a person or office to whom administrative communications should be directed

Usage notes
  • When the communication number represents a telephone number in the United States and other countries using the North American Dialing Plan (for voice, data, fax, etc), the communication number should always include the area code and phone number using the format AAABBBCCCC. Where AAA is the area code, BBB is the telephone number prefix, and CCCC is the telephone number (e.g. (534)224-2525 would be represented as 5342242525). The extension, when applicable, should be included in the communication number immediately after the telephone number.
  • Required when the information source must direct requests for follow-up to a specific contact, electronic mail, facsimile, or phone number. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
Example
If either Communication Number Qualifier (PER-03) or Information Receiver Contact Communication Number (PER-04) is present, then the other is required

Subscriber Trace Number

OptionalMax use 3

To uniquely identify a transaction to an application

Usage notes
  • Any trace numbers provided at this level on the notification must be returned by the information receiver at this level of the 278 acknowledgment response if one is returned.
  • If the 278 notification transaction passes through more than one clearinghouse, the second (and subsequent) clearinghouse may choose one of the following options:

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 acknowledgment to the sending clearinghouse, they must remove their TRN segment and replace it with the sending clearinghouse's TRN segment. If the second or subsequent clearinghouse does not need to assign their own TRN segment, they should merely pass all TRN segments received in the 278 acknowledgment transaction.

  • If the 278 notification passes through a clearinghouse that adds their own TRN in addition to an information source TRN, the clearinghouse will receive an acknowledgment from the information receiver containing two TRN segments that contain the value "2" (Referenced Transaction Trace Number) in TRN01. If the information receiver has assigned a TRN, the information receiver'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 information source, the clearinghouse must change the value in their TRN01 to "1" because, from the information source's perspective, this is not a referenced transaction trace number.
  • Required when this loop is returned and the notification contained a tracking number at this level on the notification, or if the receiver or clearinghouse assigns a trace number to this patient event in the acknowledgment for tracking purposes.

Patient Event Tracking Number

OptionalMax use 3

To uniquely identify a transaction to an application

Usage notes
  • Required when this loop is returned and the notification contained a tracking number at this level on the notification, or if the information source or clearinghouse assigns a trace number to this patient event in the acknowledgment for tracking purposes. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
  • Any trace numbers provided at this level on the notification must be returned by the information sender at this level of the 278 notification.
  • If the 278 notification transaction passed through more than one clearinghouse, the second (and subsequent) clearinghouse may choose one of the following options: 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 acknowledgment to the sending clearinghouse, they must remove their TRN segment and replace it with the sending clearinghouse's TRN segment. If the second or subsequent clearinghouse does not need to assign their own TRN segment, they should merely pass all TRN segments received in the 278 acknowledgment transaction.
  • If the 278 notification passed through a clearinghouse that adds their own TRN in addition to the information source's TRN, the clearinghouse will receive an acknowledgment from the information source containing two TRN segments that contain the value "2" (Referenced Transaction Trace Number) in TRN01. If the information source has assigned a TRN, the information source'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 acknowledgment's information receiver, the clearinghouse must change the value in their TRN01 to "1" because, from the information receiver's perspective, this is not a referenced transaction trace number.
Example
TRN-01

Service Trace Number

OptionalMax use 3

To uniquely identify a transaction to an application

Usage notes
  • Required when this service level is returned and any trace numbers were provided at this level on the notification, or if the information receiver or clearinghouse assigns a trace number to this service in the acknowledgment for tracking purposes. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
  • Any trace numbers provided at this level on the notification must be returned by the information receiver at this level of the 278 notification.
  • If the 278 notification transaction passed through more than one clearinghouse, the second (and subsequent) clearinghouse may choose one of the following options: 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 acknowledgment to the sending clearinghouse, they must remove their TRN segment and replace it with the sending clearinghouse's TRN segment. If the second or subsequent clearinghouse does not need to assign their own TRN segment, they should merely pass all TRN segments received in the 278 acknowledgment transaction.
  • If the 278 notification passed through a clearinghouse that adds their own TRN in addition to the information source's TRN, the clearinghouse will receive an acknowledgment from the information source containing two TRN segments that contain the value "2" (Referenced Transaction Trace Number) in TRN01. If the information source has assigned a TRN, the information source'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 acknowledgment's information receiver, the clearinghouse must change the value in their TRN01 to "1" because, from the information receiver's perspective, this is not a referenced transaction trace number.
Example
TRN-01

  • TRN03 identifies an organization.
Usage notes
  • The first position must be either a "1" if an EIN is used, a "3" if a DUNS is used or a "9" if a user assigned identifier is used.
  • Use this element to identify the entity that assigned this trace number. If TRN01 is "1", use this value to identify the information source of this acknowledgment transaction that assigned the trace number. If TRN01 is "2", this is the value received in the original 278 notification transaction.

Patient Event Tracking Number

OptionalMax use 3

To uniquely identify a transaction to an application

Usage notes
  • Required when this loop is returned and the notification contained a tracking number at this level on the notification, or if the information source or clearinghouse assigns a trace number to this patient event in the acknowledgment for tracking purposes. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
  • Any trace numbers provided at this level on the notification must be returned by the information sender at this level of the 278 notification.
  • If the 278 notification transaction passed through more than one clearinghouse, the second (and subsequent) clearinghouse may choose one of the following options: 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 acknowledgment to the sending clearinghouse, they must remove their TRN segment and replace it with the sending clearinghouse's TRN segment. If the second or subsequent clearinghouse does not need to assign their own TRN segment, they should merely pass all TRN segments received in the 278 acknowledgment transaction.
  • If the 278 notification passed through a clearinghouse that adds their own TRN in addition to the information source's TRN, the clearinghouse will receive an acknowledgment from the information source containing two TRN segments that contain the value "2" (Referenced Transaction Trace Number) in TRN01. If the information source has assigned a TRN, the information source'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 acknowledgment's information receiver, the clearinghouse must change the value in their TRN01 to "1" because, from the information receiver's perspective, this is not a referenced transaction trace number.
Example

Service Trace Number

OptionalMax use 3

To uniquely identify a transaction to an application

Usage notes
  • Required when this service level is returned and any trace numbers were provided at this level on the notification, or if the information receiver or clearinghouse assigns a trace number to this service in the acknowledgment for tracking purposes. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
  • Any trace numbers provided at this level on the notification must be returned by the information receiver at this level of the 278 notification.
  • If the 278 notification transaction passed through more than one clearinghouse, the second (and subsequent) clearinghouse may choose one of the following options: 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 acknowledgment to the sending clearinghouse, they must remove their TRN segment and replace it with the sending clearinghouse's TRN segment. If the second or subsequent clearinghouse does not need to assign their own TRN segment, they should merely pass all TRN segments received in the 278 acknowledgment transaction.
  • If the 278 notification passed through a clearinghouse that adds their own TRN in addition to the information source's TRN, the clearinghouse will receive an acknowledgment from the information source containing two TRN segments that contain the value "2" (Referenced Transaction Trace Number) in TRN01. If the information source has assigned a TRN, the information source'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 acknowledgment's information receiver, the clearinghouse must change the value in their TRN01 to "1" because, from the information receiver's perspective, this is not a referenced transaction trace number.
Example
TRN-01

  • The first position must be either a "1" if an EIN is used, a "3" if a DUNS is used or a "9" if a user assigned identifier is used.
  • Use this element to identify the entity that assigned this trace number. If TRN01 is "1", use this value to identify the information source of this acknowledgment transaction that assigned the trace number. If TRN01 is "2", this is the value received in the original 278 notification transaction.
