270Health Care Eligibility/Benefit Inquiry

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Health Care Eligibility/Benefit Inquiry Transaction Set (270) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set can be used to inquire about the health care eligibility and benefits associated with a subscriber or a dependent under the subscriber's policy. A subscriber is a person who elects the benefits and is affiliated with the employer or the insurer. A dependent is a person who is affiliated with the subscriber such as spouse, child, etc., and therefore may be entitled to benefits.
