We interpret the new situational rule for the NM103-NM105,NM107, and NM109 data elements of the NM1*74 segment in the 5010 to mean that ONLY the data that is different should be communicated. So, if the provider submitted a subscriber named "JOHN DOE", but our enrollment record has "JOHN J DOE, JR" on file, the following should be submitted in the 835. Would you please confirm that this is correct?

NM1*IL*1*DOE*JOHN****MI*12345678901~
NM1*74*1***J**JR~

Also, can the NM1*74 be used to be communicate that data should NOT be sent? For example, if a provider submitted the subscriber named "JOHN PHILIP SOUSA", but our enrollment record just has "JOHN SOUSA", we would like to send the whole name without the middle name, but that wouldn't satisfy the situational rule for the NM103 and NM04. The only way we can think to communicate this is as follows, but it isn't clear what needs to be changed. Please advise how this can be handled.

NM1*IL*1*SOUSA*JOHN*PHILIP***MI*12345678901~
NM1*74*1~
