NHIC, Corp. has adopted the following list of abbreviations to assist the
supplier community when submitting additional documentation information electronically
in the HIPAA-compliant format. The data elements in the
HIPAA-compliant electronic formats only hold 80 characters for additional
documentation notations. As a result, DME MAC Jurisdiction A has adopted the
following "suggested list" of abbreviations for suppliers to use in
order to maximize the effectiveness of the limited space in the note segments.
These abbreviations may be used in the NTE 2400 or NTE 2300 segments in the
American National Standard Institute (ANSI X12N version 4010A1) format, and the
National Council of Prescription Drug Program (NCPDP) field 498-PP.
This "suggested list" of abbreviations contains the most common types
of documentation and notations submitted to Jurisdiction A.
NOTE: Suppliers should always enter the most pertinent documentation
information for the equipment/service being provided.
