HEALTH CARE CLAIM: DENTAL

1 Introduction to Modified Pages
This document is addenda to the X12N Health Care Claim: Dental Implementation Guide, originally published May 2000 as 004010X097. As a result of the post
publication review process, items were identified that could be considered impediments to implementation. These items were passed to the X12N Health Care
Work Group that created the original Implementation Guide for their review.
Modifications based on those comments were reflected in a draft version of the
Addenda to the X12N 004010X097 Implementation Guide. Since the X12N
004010X097 Implementation Guide is named for use under the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), an NPRM Draft Addenda went
through a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) comment process that began
on May 31, 2002. The Addenda reflects changes based on comments received
during the NPRM process and X12N’s own review processes. Only the modifications noted in the NPRM Draft Addenda were considered in the NPRM and X12N
review processes. The Addenda was approved for publication by X12N on October 10, 2002. When using the X12N Health Care Claim: Dental Implementation
Guide, originally published May 2000 as 004010X097 and incorporating the
changes identified in the Addenda, the value used in GS08 must be
“004010X097A1".
Each of the changes made to the 004010X097 Implementation Guide has been
annotated with a note in red and a line pointing to the location of the change. In
the event that a segment or loop has been deleted, the deletion will be identified
in the Implementation table beginning on Page 7. For convenience, the affected
004010X097 Implementation Guide page number is noted at the bottom of the
page. Please note that as a result of insertion or deletion of material Addenda
pages may not begin or end at the same place as the original referenced page.
Because of this, Addenda pages are not page for page replacements and the
original pages should be retained.
Changes in the Addenda may have caused changes to the Data Element Dictionary and the Data Element Name Index (Appendix E in the original Implementation Guide), but these changes are not identified in the Addenda. Changes in the
Addenda may also have caused changes to the Examples and the EDI Transmission Examples (Section 4 in the original Implementation Guide), again these are
not identified in the Addenda.

ASC X12N • INSURANCE SUBCOMMITTEE
IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE

HIPAA Role in Implementation Guides
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-191 known as HIPAA) includes provisions for Administrative Simplification, which require the Secretary of Department of Health and Human Services to adopt standards to support the electronic exchange of administrative and financial health
care transactions primarily between health care providers and plans. HIPAA directs the Secretary to adopt standards for transactions to enable health information to be exchanged electronically and to adopt specifications for implementing
each standard.
Detailed Implementation Guides for each standard must be available at the time
of the adoption of HIPAA standards so that health plans, providers, clearinghouses, and software vendors can ready their information systems and application software for compliance with the standards. Consistent usage of the standards, including loops, segments, data elements, etc., across all guides is mandatory to support the Secretary’s commitment to standardization.
This Implementation Guide has been developed for use as a HIPAA Implementation Guide for Health Care Claim: Dental. Should the Secretary adopt the X12
837 Health Care Claim: Dental transaction as an industry standard, this Implementation Guide describes the consistent industry usage called for by HIPAA. If
adopted under HIPAA, the X12N 837 Health Care Claim: Dental transaction cannot be implemented except as described in this Implementation Guide.

1.2

Version and Release
This implementation guide is based on the October 1997 ASC X12 standards, referred to as Version 4, Release 1, Sub-release 0 (004010).

1.3

Business Use and Definition
The ASC X12 standards are formulated to minimize the need for users to reprogram their data processing systems for multiple formats by allowing data interchange through the use of a common interchange structure. These standards do
not define the method in which interchange partners should establish the required electronic media communication link, nor the hardware and translation software requirements to exchange EDI data. Each trading partner must provide
these specific requirements separately.

First sentence replaced.

This implementation guide is intended to provide assistance in developing and
executing the electronic transfer of health encounter data, health claim data and
health care predetermination of dental benefits data. With a few exceptions, this
implementation guide does not contain payer-specific instructions. Trading partners agreements are not allowed to set data specifications that conflict with the
HIPAA implementations. Payers are required by law to have the capability to
send/receive all HIPAA transactions. For example, a payer who does not pay
claims with certain home health information must still be able to electronically accept on their front end an 837 with all the home health data. The payer cannot upfront reject such a claim. However, that does not mean that the payer is required
to bring that data into their adjudication system. The payer, acting in accordance
with policy and contractual agreements, can ignore data within the 837 data set.
In light of this, it is permissible for trading partners to specify a subset of an

IMPLEMENTATION

837

Health Care Claim: Dental

1. The 837 transaction is designed to transmit one or more claims for each billing provider. The hierarchy of
the looping structure is as follows: billing provider, subscriber, patient, claim level, and claim service line level.
Billing providers who sort claims using this hierarchy use the 837 more efficiently because information that
applies to all lower levels in the hierarchy does not have to be repeated within the transaction.
2. The developers of this implementation guide also recommend this standard for submitting similar data
within a prepaid managed care context. Referred to as “capitated encounters,” this data usually does not result
in a payment, though it is possible to submit a mixed claim that includes both prepaid and request for payment
services. This standard allows for the submission of data from providers of health care products and services to
a Managed Care Organization or other payer. This standard may be used by payers to share data with plan
sponsors, employers, regulatory entities, and Community Health Information Networks.
3. This standard also can be used as a transaction set in support of the Coordination of Benefits (COB) claims
process. Additional looped segments can be used within both the claim and service line levels to transfer each
payer’s adjudication information to subsequent payers.

Table 2 - Patient Detail
For purposes of this documentation, the claim detail information is presented only in the dependent level.
Specific claim detail information can be given in either the subscriber or the dependent hierarchical level.
Because of this the claim information is said to “float.” Claim information is positioned in the same hierarchical
level that describes its owner-participant, either the subscriber or the dependent. In other words, the claim
information, loop 2300, is placed following loop 2010BC in the subscriber hierarchical level when the patient is
the subscriber, or it is placed at the patient/dependent hierarchical level when the patient is the dependent of
the subscriber as shown here. When the patient is the subscriber, loops 2000C and 2010CA are not sent. See
2.3.2.1, HL Segment, for details.

1. Numbers at this position apply to the entire claim unless they are
overridden in the REF segment in Loop ID-2400. A reference
identification is considered to be overridden if the value in REF01 is
the same in both the Loop ID-2300 REF segment and the Loop ID-2400
REF segment. In that case, the Loop ID-2400 REF applies only to that
specific line.

Note 2. Changed

2. Required where services on this claim were preauthorized or where a
referral is involved. Generally, preauthorization/referral numbers are
those numbers assigned by the payer/UMO to authorize a service
prior to its being performed. The referral or prior authorization
number carried in this REF is specific to the destination payer
reported in the 2010BB loop. If other payers have similar numbers for
this claim, report that information in the 2330 loop REF which holds
that payer’s information.

HEALTH CARE CLAIM: DENTAL

Data elements are assigned a unique reference number. Each data element has
a name, description, type, minimum length, and maximum length. For ID type
data elements, this guide provides the applicable ASC X12 code values and their
descriptions or references where the valid code list can be obtained.
Each data element is assigned a minimum and maximum length. The length of
the data element value is the number of character positions used except as
noted for numeric, decimal, and binary elements.
The data element types shown in matrix A4, Data Element Types, appear in this
implementation guide.

Matrix A4. Data Element Types

A.1.3.1.1

Numeric
A numeric data element is represented by one or more digits with an optional
leading sign representing a value in the normal base of 10. The value of a numeric data element includes an implied decimal point. It is used when the position of the decimal point within the data is permanently fixed and is not to be
transmitted with the data.
This set of guides denotes the number of implied decimal positions. The representation for this data element type is “Nn” where N indicates that it is numeric
and n indicates the number of decimal positions to the right of the implied decimal point.
If n is 0, it need not appear in the specification; N is equivalent to N0. For negative values, the leading minus sign (-) is used. Absence of a sign indicates a positive value. The plus sign (+) should not be transmitted.
EXAMPLE
A transmitted value of 1234, when specified as numeric type N2, represents a
value of 12.34.
Leading zeros should be suppressed unless necessary to satisfy a minimum
length requirement. The length of a numeric type data element does not include
the optional sign.

A.1.3.1.2

Decimal
A decimal data element may contain an explicit decimal point and is used for numeric values that have a varying number of decimal positions. This data element
type is represented as “R.”
The decimal point always appears in the character stream if the decimal point is
at any place other than the right end. If the value is an integer (decimal point at
the right end) the decimal point should be omitted. For negative values, the leading minus sign (-) is used. Absence of a sign indicates a positive value. The plus
sign (+) should not be transmitted.

HEALTH CARE CLAIM: DENTAL

ASC X12N • INSURANCE SUBCOMMITTEE
IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE

Leading zeros should be suppressed unless necessary to satisfy a minimum
length requirement. Trailing zeros following the decimal point should be suppressed unless necessary to indicate precision. The use of triad separators (for
example, the commas in 1,000,000) is expressly prohibited. The length of a decimal type data element does not include the optional leading sign or decimal point.
EXAMPLE
A transmitted value of 12.34 represents a decimal value of 12.34.
New note

A.1.3.1.3

For implementation of this guide under the rules promulgated under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), decimal data elements in
Data Element 782 (Monetary Amount) will be limited to a maximum length of 10
characters including reported or implied places for cents (implied value of 00 after
the decimal point). Note the statement in the preceding paragraph that the decimal point and leading sign, if sent, are not part of the character count.

Identifier
An identifier data element always contains a value from a predefined list of codes
that is maintained by the ASC X12 Committee or some other body recognized by
the Committee. Trailing spaces should be suppressed unless they are necessary
to satisfy a minimum length. An identifier is always left justified. The representation for this data element type is “ID.”

A.1.3.1.4

String
A string data element is a sequence of any characters from the basic or extended
character sets. The significant characters shall be left justified. Leading spaces,
when they occur, are presumed to be significant characters. Trailing spaces
should be suppressed unless they are necessary to satisfy a minimum length.
The representation for this data element type is “AN.”

A.1.3.1.5

Date
A date data element is used to express the standard date in either YYMMDD or
CCYYMMDD format in which CC is the first two digits of the calendar year, YY is
the last two digits of the calendar year, MM is the month (01 to 12), and DD is the
day in the month (01 to 31). The representation for this data element type is “DT.”
Users of this guide should note that all dates within transactions are 8-character
dates (millennium compliant) in the format CCYYMMDD. The only date data element that is in format YYMMDD is the Interchange Date data element in the ISA
segment, and also used in the TA1 Interchange Acknowledgment, where the century can be readily interpolated because of the nature of an interchange header.

A.1.3.1.6

Time
A time data element is used to express the ISO standard time HHMMSSd..d format in which HH is the hour for a 24 hour clock (00 to 23), MM is the minute (00
to 59), SS is the second (00 to 59) and d..d is decimal seconds. The representation for this data element type is “TM.” The length of the data element determines the format of the transmitted time.
EXAMPLE
Transmitted data elements of four characters denote HHMM. Transmitted data
elements of six characters denote HHMMSS.
