1.

P0304 - If either PER03,PER04 is present, then all are required

2.

P0506 - If either PER05,PER06 is present, then all are required

3.

P0708 - If either PER07,PER08 is present, then all are required

Notes:

1. Each communication number should always include the area code. The extension, when applicable, should be included in the appropriate PER element immediately after the telephone number (e.g., if the telephone number is included in PER03 then the extension should be in PER05).
2. Required if this information is different than that contained in the Loop 1000A - Submitter PER segment.
3. When the communication number represents a telephone number in the United States and other countries using the North American Dialing Plan (for voice, data, fax, etc.), the communication number should always include the area code and phone number using the format AAABBBCCCC. Where AAA is the area code, BBB is the telephone number prefix, and CCCC is the telephone number (e.g. (534)224-2525 would be represented as 5342242525). The extension, when applicable, should be included in the communication number immediately after the telephone number.
4. By definition of the standard, if PER05 is used, PER04 is required, and if PER07 is used, PER08 is required.
