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.

Submitter could begin sending transactions using the number 0001 in this element and increment from there. The number must be unique within a specific functional group (GS to GE) and interchange (ISA to IEA), but can be repeated in other groups and interchanges.

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.
