Delimiters Supported
A delimiter is a character used to separate two data elements or sub elements, or to terminate a segment. Delimiters are specified in the interchange header segment, ISA. The ISA segment is a 105 byte fixed length record. The data element separator is byte number 4; the component element separator is byte number 105; and the segment terminator is the byte that immediately follows the component element separator. Once specified in the interchange header, delimiters are not to be used in a data element value elsewhere in the transaction. Beacon recommends utilizing the following default delimiters:
- Data element separator – * (Asterisk)
- Sub-element separator – : (Colon)
- Segment terminator – ~ (Tilde)
If the data contains any of the above delimiters, different delimiters can be utilized and specified in the ISA segment.
Claims files submitted in production mode cannot exceed 5000 claims (CLM segments) in any one file.
