This question is about Loop 2100B (Information Receiver Name) Segment NM1 TR3 Note 3 regarding the situation where there is more than one clearinghouse involved in the transmission. For the second hop in the route, when Clearinghouse 1 is sending to Clearinghouse 2, which one is "passing the information" as described in that TR3 Note? I would assume that Loop 2100B should be populated with the data for Clearinghouse 2 since that is the trading partner receiving the transaction at that stage in the route. But the language could be interpreted the other way, and that Clearinghouse 1 is "passing the information" on that hop and thus should be the entity that appears in Loop 2100B. Which is correct?
A payer is returning a 277 claim acknowledgment transaction to a provider via two intermediary clearinghouses in sequence.
Payer --> Clearinghouse 1 --> Clearinghouse 2 --> Provider
In the scenario above, Clearinghouse 1 would populate 2100B NM1 with Clearinghouse 2 information.
The appropriate way to populate the 2100B (Information Receiver Name) NM1 is to populate with the entity that is receiving the transaction.
