We are currently receiving claims in the 5010 format with span dates of service in loop 2300 DTP03, and without dates listed in loop 2400 DTP.
Loop 2400 DTP is a situational field with a rule that states that it is 'required on outpatient service lines where a drug is not being billed and the statement covers period is greater than one day.'
In a situation where the dates listed in loop 2300 DTP03 are greater than one day, does loop 2400 become a required field that dates must be entered on?
For outpatient services, when the Statement Dates in the 2300 DTP cover a period greater than one day and a drug is not being billed, the Service Date 2400 DTP is required.
