Business Requirement / Issue: Adding new Edit 119 (All digits must be 0 - 9 or decimal) to additionally allow decimals to be submitted for the following data elements:



0571 DRUGS/SUPPLIES NUMBER OF DAYS

0501 TOTAL CHARGE PER BILL

0516 TOTAL AMOUNT PAID PER BILL

0545 BILL ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT

0546 BILL ADJUSTMENT UNITS

0552 TOTAL CHARGE PER LINE

0554 DAY(S) /UNIT(S) BILLED

0570 DRUGS/SUPPLIES QUANTITY DISPENSED

0572 DRUGS/SUPPLIES BILLED AMOUNT

0574 TOTAL AMOUNT PAID PER LINE

0579 DRUGS/SUPPLIES DISPENSING FEE

0733 SERVICE ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT

0734 SERVICE ADJUSTMENT UNITS

0760 PRIOR ACTUAL AMOUNT PAID

0761 LINE ITEM PRIOR ACTUAL AMOUNT PAID



Note: The X12 standard allows decimals to be submitted in all of the above fields, so our edits should also match the allowed data. Currently, the edit usually used for these data elements (Edit 028 - All digits must be 0 - 9) would not allow for decimals. Since the IAIABC EDI Medical standard follows the X12 standard, this new edit allowing decimals is necessary.



Final Proposed Resolution: Add Edit 119 (All digits must be 0 - 9 or decimal) to the standard.
