Submitting a Corrected Claim is as Easy as 1 – 2 – 3

Did you ever submit a claim to Medicare only to have it come back paid wrong? Maybe you forgot a modifier code, or entered the wrong diagnosis code.

What did you have to do to get that claim corrected? Did you fill out a form on paper with an explanation of the error to have the claim reviewed?

There’s a much easier way, and it’s as easy as 1 – 2 – 3.

1. Open the invoice and fix the errors.
2. Click the SUPPLEMENTAL DATA tab of the invoice and enter the words CORRECTED CLAIM in field HCFA Box 19.
3. Send the corrected claim electronically.

   

Medicare will reprocess your claim with the corrected information.

This tip should work with any insurance carrier.
