Loop 2000

• REF1L:  Group or Policy # populate for Employee and Dependents

Loop 2300

• REF1L:  Group or Policy # (Per spec, you can exclude the REF1L from the 2300 loop if you send it in the 2000 loop, you may want to ask your contact the preference 2000 vs. 2300)
• HD03:  Value set at Plans tab, you will select the Insurance Line code based  on the information provided to you by the business Analyst. 

 Loop 2310:  Only required if client has a plan that requires a PCP be transmitted.  Additionally, I believe this is optional and not requried as the employer can have the employees manage their PCP’s via the Anthem website.  This is actually the Employee Navigator preferred method. 

 Loop 2320:  Optional Loop loop and can excluded at client level
