277CA and 277 Examples

We’ve added several interactive examples of 277 transactions to our collection of EDI examples.

277CA (claim acknowledgment) transactions are sent in response to 837 transactions.

They contain processing statuses and failed edits applied by the payer.

277 response can also be initiated separately by sending a 276 status request.

Please see our examples for more details.

If you’re interested in deciphering your own 277 EDI files, please go to our free online EDI Viewer.

We are working on creating a more intuitive schema for 277 transactions that will be free of multiple nested loops, similar to our 835/837 schemas.
