834 Benefit Enrollment and Maintenance
Functional Group=BE
Purpose: This X12 Transaction Set contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Benefit Enrollment and
Maintenance Transaction Set (834) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This
transaction set can be used to establish communication between the sponsor of the insurance product and the payer. Such
transaction(s) may or may not take place through a third party administrator (TPA). For the purpose of this standard, the sponsor
is the party or entity that ultimately pays for the coverage, benefit or product. A sponsor can be an employer, union, government
agency, association, or insurance agency. The payer refers to an entity that pays claims, administers the insurance product or
benefit, or both. A payer can be an insurance company, health maintenance organization (HMO), preferred provider organization
(PPO), government agency (Medicare, Medicaid, Champus, etc.), or an entity that may be contracted by one of these former
groups. For the purpose of the 834 transaction set, a third party administrator (TPA) can be contracted by a sponsor to handle data
gathering from those covered by the sponsor if the sponsor does not elect to perform this function itself.
