Eligibility & Benefits Standards and Operating Rules

The Health Care Eligibility Benefit Inquiry and Response and the associated X12 Technical Report Type 3 Implementation Guides provide the HIPAA-adopted standards for healthcare eligibility and benefit inquiries. These guides provide standardized data content for creation and use of the v5010 270/271 transaction. The 270 transaction set is used throughout the healthcare marketplace to transmit healthcare eligibility and benefit inquiries from health care providers, insurers, clearinghouses and other healthcare adjudication processors. Meanwhile, the 271 transaction set is the appropriate response mechanism for healthcare eligibility and benefit inquiries. The federally mandated CAQH CORE Eligibility & Benefits Operating Rules align with these transactions and help the industry more effectively implement and use the 270/271 transactions to determine a patient’s eligibility and benefits.
