Re: Removing EIN/SSN Separators
Joe,
The IGs don't specify. Element 67 is an alphanumeric which means that it can
contain
numbers as well as characters - in this case character separators. In my
experience,
the usage of the dash in EINs and SSNs has been consistent -- about half used
the
dashes and half required that they be excluded. This is an issue that should be
established in the Trading Partner Implementation Guide or agreement. I checked
a
couple of the HIPAA IGs and they also are silent on this topic.
