Reverse a released claim with no check

After a claim has been moved from an In Progress—IP or Pended—HP status to a Released—R status, the claim is included in a check run for payment processing (usually in the form of a check). The check run process updates the R claim status to paid—P.

Important! If the claim is part of a check run (the claim is still in R status), remove it from the check run before adjusting it. (Administration Process > Claims Checks and EOBs > Check Run Claim Removal)

Reverse, correct, and reissue the claim

Use the following instructions when a claim is in R—Released status, verify the claim hasn't been selected for a check run, no checks were printed, and the claim had a payment error.

Go to: Home > Administration Processes > Claims Adjustments > Claim Reversal/Void

  1. Enter the claim’s Refno.
  2. At Void Reg—Register enter N since there is no check.
  3. Enter M—manual in Reissue to create a new claim to correct.
  4. You’re prompted to enter the new received date for the new claim at the bottom of the screen.
