Overview
Circle Flags
Blue Circle = Unbalanced
This flag is letting you know the Paid amount and the Amount used below do not match. The circle was designed to flag claim that are unbalanced to help you resolve an ERA that is not balancing or has unallocated funds.
Red Circle = Mismatched
This flag can alert you when claim information does not match. Specifically, something from Payment Entry Mode (the claim information in the system) does not match the Report Mode (the payer's remittance advice). This flag was designed to help troubleshoot problems within an ERA.
This flag is optional. The system default is to not show this flag. If you wish to enable this flag, follow these steps:
- Go to the Settings Module.
- Click on the Billing tab.
- Scroll to the bottom.
- Locate the field Show mismatch flag in the ERA module.
- The default setting is Don't Show.
- To enable, change the drop down to Show.
- Click Change.
Rectangular Flags
The system will automatically generate red, purple, or green flags based on the rules set up in the Change Rules window. The flags below represent the system default settings. Please note: There is a possibility someone in your organization change these settings.
Purple Rectangle = Takeback
This flag means that the payment line on the remittance was a negative amount, and so the payer is sending a reversal or takeback for the given claim.
Red Rectangle = Zero Payment
This means that the payment line on the remittance was equal to 0.
Green Rectangle = Patients Responsibility
This means the remittance has a CAS (Claim Adjustment Segment) of 1, 2, or 3, so there is a copay, coinsurance, or deductible for this claim. When you save a copay, coinsurance, or deductible, the system will automatically create an invoice for the client for the same date of service.
- CAS 1: This is a deductible. The system will create a Deductible Adjustment for this CAS and Code.
- CAS 2: This is a coinsurance. The system will create a Coinsurance Adjustment for this CAS and Code.
- CAS 3: This is a copay. The system will create a Copay Adjustment for this CAS and Code.
