response to the transaction will be by phone or on paper?  

Page 220 of 278 IG  BHT06  Transaction Type Code18     Response - No Further Updates 
to Follow   Use this code to indicate that this is a final response. If the final 
response reports a medical decision it contains an HCR01 value of A1, A3, A6,or NA in 
Loop 2000F. This indicates that no additional EDI responses are necessary or 
forthcoming from the UMO in relation to the original request.  

Note: If you use HCR01 = CT to indicate a non-EDI delivery of the medical decision, 
use it in combination with BHT06 = 18.
