Corrected Claim in Appeals and Denials
If a claim is denied or partially paid by a payer, a corrected claim should be sent for additional review. Submitting a corrected claim would require the claim frequency code '7', and the payer claim controlNumber
must be included on the claim in the claimControlNumber
field in the claimSupplementalInformation
.
The claimControlNumber
is the number assigned by the payer to identify a claim. Once submitted, the payer will review the claim and make any changes based on their internal review. The claimControlNumber
is found on the payer 277 report.
The same process would need to be followed for voided claims, but using a frequency code '8'. Here is a sample corrected claim.
