Delimiters

50.7 - Delimiters (Rev. 2803, Issued: 10-28-13, Effective: 09-17-13, Implementation: 09-17-13) Delimiters - Inbound Transactions As detailed in the HIPAA adopted ASC X12 implementation guides, delimiters are determined by the characters sent in specified, set positions of the ISA header. For transmissions to Medicare (inbound transmissions), these charters are determined by the submitter and can be any characters which are not contained within any data elements within the ISA/IEA Interchange Envelope. Please note, that the delimiters for NCPDP files are dictated by the transaction standard. Delimiters - Outbound Transactions Medicare will use the following delimiters in all outbound ASC X12 transactions. Note that these characters will not be used in data elements within an ISA/IEA Interchange Envelope.
