18

Response - No Further Updates to Follow

Use this code to indicate that this is a final response. If the final response reports a medical decision it contains an HCR01 value of A1, A3, A6, or NA in Loop 2000F. This indicates that no additional EDI responses are necessary or forthcoming from the UMO in relation to the original request.

Note: If you use HCR01 = CT to indicate a non-EDI delivery of the medical decision, use it in combination with BHT06 = 18.

 

19

Response - Further Updates to Follow

Use this code to indicate that the final medical decision is pending further review. A pended response contains an HCR01 value of A4 or CT. This, in combination with BHT06 = 19, indicates that the final EDI response will be delivered later.
