See Figures Appendix for examples detailing the use of the CUR segment.


Notes:

1. The developers of this implementation guide added the CUR segment to allow billing providers and billing services to submit claims for services provided in foreign countries. The absence of the CUR segment indicates that the claim is submitted in the currency that is normally used by the receiver for processing claims. For example, claims submitted by United States (U.S.) providers to U.S. receivers are assumed to be in U.S. dollars. Claims submitted by Canadian providers to Canadian receivers are assumed to be in Canadian dollars.

Example:

CUR*85*CAN~
