If you determine that a previously sent case should not be counted as a case, send an updated case notification using one of the following methods: Preferred Method: the case with case classification status data element a ‘77990-0’ =“Not Case” and Notification Result Status (OBR-25) = to indicate this is “C” a correction. Alternate Method: the case with case classification status data element = a ‘77990-0’ “Not and Notification Result Case” Status (OBR-25) = to “X” indicate this case is “rescinded”. Alternate Method for jurisdictions unable to send case classification status of a “Not Regardless of the value Case”: transmitted in the case classification status, re-send the case with Notification Result Status (in OBR-25) = to “X” indicate this case is rescinded. 44 Table 5.2.5 OBX-4 Updated the wording in Condition Predicate: If the OBX segment is allowed to the condition predicate repeat more than once within to help clarify the usage the same OBR segment and contain the same OBX-3 values.
