This is not used for reversals. See section 1.10.2.8, Reversals and Corrections, for additional information.
CLP-06
1032
Claim Filing Indicator Code
Required
Identifier (ID)

Code identifying type of claim

Usage notes
  • For many providers to electronically post the 835 remittance data to their patient accounting systems without human intervention, a unique, provider-specific insurance plan code is needed. This code allows the provider to separately identify and manage the different product lines or contractual arrangements between the payer and the provider. Because most payers maintain the same Originating Company Identifier in the TRN03 or BPR10 for all product lines or contractual relationships, the CLP06 is used by the provider as a table pointer in combination with the TRN03 or BPR10 to identify the unique, provider-specific insurance plan code needed to post the payment without human intervention. The value should mirror the value received in the original claim (2-005 SBR09 of the 837), if applicable, or provide the value as assigned or edited by the payer. For example the BL from the SBR09 in the 837 would be returned as 12, 13, 15, in the 835 when more details are known. The 837 SBR09 code CI (Commercial Insurance) is generic, if through adjudication the specific type of plan is obtained a more specific code must be returned in the 835.
  • The 837 and 835 transaction code lists for this element are not identical by design. There are some business differences between the two transactions. When a code from the 837 is not available in the 835 another valid code from the 835 must be assigned by the payer.

Claim Adjustment

OptionalMax use 99

To supply adjustment reason codes and amounts as needed for an entire claim or for a particular service within the claim being paid

Usage notes
  • Payers must use this CAS segment to report claim level adjustments that cause the amount paid to differ from the amount originally charged. See 1.10.2.1, Balancing, and 1.10.2.4, Claim Adjustment and Service Adjustment Segment Theory, for additional information.
  • See the SVC TR3 Note #1 for details about per diem adjustments.
  • A single CAS segment contains six repetitions of the "adjustment trio" composed of adjustment reason code, adjustment amount, and adjustment quantity. These six adjustment trios are used to report up to six adjustments related to a specific Claim Adjustment Group Code (CAS01). The six iterations (trios) of the Adjustment Reason Code related to the Specific Adjustment Group Code must be exhausted before repeating a second iteration of the CAS segment using the same Adjustment Group Code. The first adjustment must be the first non-zero adjustment and is reported in the first adjustment trio (CAS02-CAS04). If there is a second non-zero adjustment, it is reported in the second adjustment trio (CAS05-CAS07), and so on through the sixth adjustment trio (CAS17-CAS19).
  • Required when dollar amounts and/or quantities are being adjusted at the claim level. If not required by this implementation guide, do not send.

Acceleration of Benefits

This is the accelerated payment amount or withholding. Withholding or payment identification is indicated by the sign of the amount in PLB04. A positive value represents a withholding. A negative value represents a payment.

B2
Rebate

This adjustment code applies when a provider has remitted an overpayment to a health plan in excess of the amount requested by the health plan. The amount accepted by the health plan is reported using code 72 (Authorized Return) and offset by the amount with code WO (Overpayment Recovery). The excess returned by the provider is reported as a negative amount using code B2, returning the excess funds to the provider.

B3
Recovery Allowance

This represents the check received from the provider for overpayments generated by payments from other payers. This code differs from the provider refund adjustment identified with code 72. This adjustment must always be offset by some other PLB adjustment referring to the original refund request or reason. For balancing purposes, the amount related to this adjustment reason code must be directly offset.

PI
Periodic Interim Payment

This is the periodic interim lump sum payments and reductions (PIP). The payments are made to a provider at the beginning of some period in advance of claims. These payments are advances on the expected claims for the period. The reductions are the recovery of actual claims payments during the period. For instance, when a provider has a PIP payment, claims within this remittance advice covered by that payment would be offset using this code to remove the claim payment from the current check. The sign of the amount in PLB04 determines whether this is a payment (negative) or reduction (positive).

This payment and recoupment is effectively a loan to the provider and loan repayment.

See section 1.10.2.5, Advance Payments and Reconciliation, for additional information.
