PH67497: COMPLIANCE_CHECK PRODUCES INVALID 999 WHEN VALIDATING A 5010X223A2 837 FILE WITH A CLM10 FIELD CONTAINING COMPOSITE DELIMETER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The HIPAA compliance_check map produces invalid 999 when
  processing 5010X223A2 837 file containing a CLM10 field that
  includes invalid composite delimiter characters, the resulting
  HIPAA 999 Acknowledgement file includes the CLM10 field data in
  the IK404 Copy of Bad Data Element field.
  
  The result is that the 999 Acknowledgement fails as invalid
  because of the composite delimiter characters IK404 Copy of Bad
  Data Element field.
  
  Recommended using a different composite delimiter in the 999 ISA
  
  segment in order to allow the IK404 Copy of Bad Data Element
  field to pass validation.
  
  The 999 documentation indicates that the IK404 is not required
  or situational if the bad data contains invalid characters.
  
  The 999 is reported as Error Code I6 for "Code Value Not Used in
  
  Implementation" and not Error Code 6 for "Invalid Character In
  Data Element".
  
  The following is the IK404 description and situational rule.
  
  IK404  724  Copy of Bad Data Element  O  AN  1/99  Situational
  Description: This is a copy of the data element in error
  Situational Rule: Required unless invalid characters are
  present, data is missing, or the data is from a binary data
  element. If not required by this implementation guide, do not
  send.
