Reverse a paid claim with an uncashed check

  2. The remaining fields update and the cursor moves to the Reissue field. Enter A to automatically reissue the check.

    Note: This doesn't allow you to make changes to the claim. All the claims in the batch are reversed and automatically reissued.
  3. Enter a new Received Date at the prompt (MMDDYY format) since the check wasn’t received.
  4. Enter an adjustment ClosedReason Code that will show in the Adjustment viewport (see Adjustments viewport field descriptions).
