Support for Additional EDI 835 Segments (TRN, N1PR, REFTJ, REFEI, DTM405)

Feature Request: Support for Additional EDI 835 Segments

Hi @keironstoddart,

Thank you for creating this useful EDI 835 parser! I'm working with EDI 835 files and need to extract some specific information that I'm not sure is currently supported by the parser.

Requested Segments/Fields

I need to extract the following information from EDI 835 files:

Segment	Qualifier	Description	Data Field Needed
TRN	1	Trace number	EFT Trace Number
N1	PR	Payer identification	Payor Name
REF	TJ	Provider NPI	Group NPI
REF	EI	Employer ID number	Group EIN
DTM	405	Production date	Payment Received Date

Current Status

I've reviewed the documentation and source code but I'm not certain if these segments are currently parsed and accessible through the existing API.

Questions

1. Are these segments currently supported by the parser?
2. If yes, could you provide an example of how to access them?
3. If no, would you be open to adding support for these segments?

Use Case

I'm trying to extract payment remittance information including:

• Group NPI: 1234567890
• Group EIN: 123456789
• Payor Name: Medicare
• EFT Payment Amount: 12345.67 (I believe this is already supported via BPR segment)
• EFT Trace Number: 123456789
• Payment Received Date: 6/5/25

Example Code

Here's what I'm hoping to achieve:

from edi_835_parser import parse

with open('835_file.txt', 'r') as file:
    transactions = parse(file)

for transaction in transactions:
    # Would like to access:
    print(f"Group NPI: {transaction.group_npi}")  # From REF*TJ
    print(f"Group EIN: {transaction.group_ein}")  # From REF*EI  
    print(f"Payor Name: {transaction.payor_name}")  # From N1*PR
    print(f"EFT Trace Number: {transaction.trace_number}")  # From TRN*1
    print(f"Payment Date: {transaction.payment_date}")  # From DTM*405
