Reconciliation

Reconciliation

For HIPAA messages 837I, 837D, 837P, 277CA, and 835, Claim level information is also extracted The file is processed in the following steps:
  1. Split the file into separate claims
  2. Create a DX event for each claim
  3. Add the corresponding attributes to the event
  4. Calculate totals (number of claims and total amounts)
  5. Add the totals as attributes to the transaction's event
The correlation between outbound 837 and inbound 277CA and 835 is reflected in these transitions.
  • When outbound 837 messages are processed at claim level, a correlation flag is created. The event status is set to 'Submitted' and the reconciliation flag is changed to 'Pending'.
  • When the corresponding inbound 277CA claim event is created, the status of the outbound 837 DX event is changed accordingly. The reconciliation flag is changed to 'Complete'.
  • If the status was changed by the 277CA to '277 Claim Accepted', another correlation flag is created and its status is changed to 'Pending'.
  • The status of the correlation flag will be changed to 'Complete' when inbound 835 claim is created. The status of the message will then be changed to 'Paid'.
