Comments:

1.

The NTE segment permits free-form information/data which, under ANSI X12 standard implementations, is not machine processable. The use of the NTE segment should therefore be avoided, if at all possible, in an automated environment.


Notes:

1. This segment is used to convey additional information necessary to adjudicate the claim.
2. Required when: (1) State regulations mandate information not identified elsewhere within the claim set; or (2) in the opinion of the provider, the information is needed to substantiate the medical treatment and is not supported elsewhere within the claim data set.

Example:

NTE*ADD*NO LIABILITY, PATIENT FELL AT HOME~
