Crossover Claims
Crossover claims will now be handled natively within the system rather than the process of manually adjusting the claim.
Fusion will automatically link a remit’s adjudication to the correct claim instance based on a segment the payer defines in the 835 files. If a relevant value for this segment isn’t present in a particular 835 file, the system will fall back to the existing method of claim matching for that remit. This will also apply to non-crossover claims.
TIP: To avoid any potential confusion, be sure to correctly enter all primary, secondary, and tracery payers for all patients.
Handle Crossover Claims
We have laid out a few common scenarios regarding crossover claims and managing them. You will see a brief description of the scenario and the new, easier steps you will see in the system.
Finalize a Claim the Payer Forwarded
In this scenario, we will be looking at finalizing a claim that the payer has forwarded. In this scenario:
- A primary claim has been submitted
- The primary payer sent a remit to the system and forwarded to claim to the secondary payer
- Biller finalizes primary claim to secondary.
- You are now prompted to move the new claim instance to the Accepted status.
Check out our article, Post a Manual Remit for more on how to post a manual remit.
Finalize a claim when the next instance has a remit
In this scenario, we will be looking at finalizing a claim when the next instance has a remit. In this scenario:
- The primary claim has been submitted
- The primary payer sent a remit to the system and forwarded the claim to the second payer
- The secondary payer sent a remit.
- Biller finalizes the primary claim to secondary
- The new claim instance will be moved directly to the Paid or Not Paid status.

Delete a Claim Instance with Adjudications
In this scenario, we will be looking at deleting a claim instance with adjudications. In this scenario:
- The primary claim has a remit and has been finalized.
- Adjudications are linked to the secondary claim.
- If the biller needs to modify adjustments linked to the primary claim
- You can now delete the secondary claim without deleting the secondary adjudications.

Additional Information
It's now possible for adjudication to be linked to a secondary claim when the current claim instance is still primary.
- If you try to finalize a claim from a remit for a future claim instance, a warning will appear allowing you to finalize the remaining claims or not.
A Couple of new history items
-
- A "Payer forwarded claim" history item is added when a remit is linked to a claim where the payer indicated they forwarded the claim to the next payer.
- A "Remit for Secondary already exists" history item is added when finalizing to a claim instance that already has adjudications.
