Patient Event Tracking Number

OptionalMax use 3

To uniquely identify a transaction to an application

Usage notes
  • Any trace numbers provided at this level on the request must be returned by the UMO at this level of the 278 response.
  • If the 278 request 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 response 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 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.
  • Required when this loop is returned and the request contained a tracking number at this level on the request, or when the UMO or clearinghouse assigns a trace number to this patient event in the response for tracking purposes. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.

Usage notes
  • Required when the UMO authorizes services that have a specific pattern of delivery for the patient event. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
  • Report authorized delivery patterns for specific services in the Service Level (Loop 2000F).
  • An explanation of the uses of this segment follows.

HSD01 qualifies HSD02: If the value in HSD02=1 and the value in HSD01=VS (Visits), this means "one visit".
Between HSD02 and HSD03 verbally insert a "per every".
HSD03 qualifies HSD04: If the value in HSD04=3 and the value in HSD03=DA (Day), this means "three days". Between HSD04 and HSD05 verbally insert a "for". HSD05 qualifies HSD06: If the value in HSD06=21 and the value in HSD05=7 (Days), this means "21 days".
The total message reads:
HSDVS1DA3721~ = "One visit per every three days for 21 days".

Another similar data string of HSDVS2DA4720~ = "Two visits per every four days for 20 days".

An alternate way to use HSD is to employ HSD07 and/or HSD08. A data string of HSDVS1****SXD~ means "1 visit on Wednesday and Thursday morning".

Additional Patient Information

OptionalMax use 10

To identify the type or transmission or both of paperwork or supporting information

Usage notes
  • If the UMO has pended the decision on this health care services review request (HCR01 = A4) because additional medical necessity information is required (HCR03 = 90), the UMO uses this segment to identify the type of documentation needed such as forms that the provider must complete. The UMO can also indicate what medium it has used to send these forms.
  • Required when the UMO requests additional patient information. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
  • Paperwork requested at the patient level should apply to the patient event and/or all the services requested. Use the PWK segment in the appropriate Service loop if requesting medical necessity information for a specific service.
  • This PWK segment is required to identify requests for specific data that are sent electronically (PWK02 = EL) but are transmitted in another X12 functional group rather than by paper or using LOINC in the HI segments of the response. PWK06 is used to identify the attached electronic questionnaire. The number in PWK06 should be referenced in the corresponding electronic attachment.
  • This PWK segment should not be used if
    a. the requester should have provided the information within the 278 request (ST-SE) but failed to do so. In this case the UMO should use the AAA segments in the 278 response to indicate the data that is missing or invalid.

b. the 278 request (ST-SE) does not support this information and the needed information pertains to a specific service identified in Loop 2000F and not to all the services requested.

Refer to Section 2.5 for more information on using this segment.

Provider 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 telephone 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.
  • By definition of the standard, if PER03 is used, PER04 is required.
  • Required when needed to identify a contact name and/or communications number for the provider. If not required by this implementation guide, may be provided at the sender's discretion but cannot be required by the receiver.

Service Trace Number

OptionalMax use 3

To uniquely identify a transaction to an application

Usage notes
  • Any trace numbers provided at this level on the request must be returned by the UMO at this level of the 278 response.
  • If the 278 request 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 response 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 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.
  • Required when this loop is returned and the request contained a tracking number at this level on the request, or when the UMO or clearinghouse assigns a trace number to this service in the response for tracking purposes. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.

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 - 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.

S
Revised

Use if the requester is revising the specifics of a certification for which services have not been rendered. For example, the requester may be requesting additional procedures or other procedures for the same patient event.

Health Care Services Delivery

OptionalMax use 1

To specify the delivery pattern of health care services

Usage notes
  • Required when the UMO authorizes services that have a specific pattern of delivery and the pattern of delivery or usage for this service is different from the pattern of delivery or usage (HSD) in the Patient Event (Loop 2000E or when identifying the number of medical services reservations remaining. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
  • An explanation of the uses of this segment or delivery pattern is as follows.

HSD01 qualifies HSD02: If the value in HSD02=1 and the value in HSD01=VS (Visits), this means "one visit".
Between HSD02 and HSD03 verbally insert a "per every".
HSD03 qualifies HSD04: If the value in HSD04=3 and the value in HSD03=DA (Day), this means "three days". Between HSD04 and HSD05 verbally insert a "for". HSD05 qualifies HSD06: If the value in HSD06=21 and the value in HSD05=7 (Days), this means "21 days".
The total message reads:
HSDVS1DA3721~ = "One visit per every three days for 21 days".

Another similar data string of HSDVS2DA4720~ = "Two visits per every four days for 20 days".

An alternate way to use HSD is to employ HSD07 and/or HSD08. A data string of HSDVS1****SXD~ means "1 visit on Wednesday and Thursday morning".

  • An explanation of the use of this segment for identifying the number of medical service reservations remaining is as follows:

HSD05 qualifies HSD06. If the value in HSD06=5 and the value in HSD05=29, this means there are 5 service reservations remaining.

Additional Service Information

OptionalMax use 10

To identify the type or transmission or both of paperwork or supporting information

Usage notes
  • If the UMO has pended the decision on this health care services review request (HCR01 = A4) because additional medical necessity information is required (HCR03 = 90), the UMO uses this segment to identify the type of documentation needed such as forms that the provider must complete. The UMO can also indicate what medium it has used to send these forms.
  • Required when the UMO needs to request additional information that applies to the service(s) requested in this Service loop. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.
  • Additional information requested at the Service level should apply to a specific service and/or all the services requested in this service loop.
  • This PWK segment is required to identify requests for specific data that are sent electronically (PWK02 = EL) but are transmitted in another X12 functional group rather than by paper or using LOINC in the HI segments of the response. PWK06 is used to identify the attached electronic questionnaire. The number in PWK06 should be referenced in the corresponding electronic attachment.
  • This PWK segment should not be used if
    a. the requester should have provided the information within the 278 request (ST-SE) but failed to do so. In this case the UMO should use the AAA segments in the 278 response to indicate the data that is missing or invalid.

b. the 278 request (ST-SE) does not support this information and the needed information pertains to all the services requested and not to a specific service. Use the PWK segment at the Patient Event level (Loop 2000E) if requesting medical necessity information that applies to all the services requested.

Refer to Section 2.5 for more information on using this segment.
