BTS segment

The BTS segment defines the end of a batch.

The shape of one line

segmentBTS|BTS-1Batch Message Count|BTS-2Batch Comment|BTS-3Batch Totals

optional

Count the pipes to find a field, and count the empty ones too: an empty field still holds its place. Leave out the separator before BTS-2 and its value arrives as BTS-1, so the receiver stores Batch Comment as Batch Message Count.

This page carries the BTS field table as published and nothing beyond it. The field notes, vendor behaviour, FHIR mapping and parsing guidance that thePID page has are still to be written for BTS.

No message structure in v2.5.1 carries BTS, and no other segment is linked to it here. The standard defines the segment on its own.
