CO-253

Post by CoachHousePT » Mon Apr 18, 2022 10:24 am

Good morning,

I am trying to update our posting codes so when I apply the insurance payments it will automatically adjust as needed. However, I don't have a block to put CO-253. The highest mine goes is 239. Is there anyway to add a block for CO-253?

For context, I'm looking at it through Revenue Management -> Configure -> Preferences -> Assign Posting Codes.

If there is another way of doing this, I'm all ears.

Thank you!

First go to the Remittance Codes tab and add an entry for 253 and give it a description Sequestration – Reduction in Federal Spending. Then you can go over to Assign Posting Codes and you'll want to make it an Insurance Adjustment or Write Off.

Thank you! That has saved me much grief. I didn't realize I could add those like that. I just thought it was game over at that point.

Hi Gavin,
I don't receive ERA's and post payments manually. Is there a way to get both CO 237 and CO 253 to show up on the secondary claims? I do send the secondary claims electronically, but always have to correct them manually after sending to clearinghouse (emdeon) when they get rejected for not balancing. I do have an adjustment code that I use when posting payments, but since there is no additional adjustment space in the apply payments window, I put it in the withhold box.
Is there a better or easier way to do this?
Thanks so much

Revenue Management auto-posting will post both adjustments as 2 separate entries. For manual entry through deposit entry window, since there is only one adjustment column, you'll have to combine the 2 adjustments into 1 adjustment and enter it that way.

Thanks for the reply. How would that be shown on the electronic secondary claim? Is there any way to convey the separate adjustments so that the secondary will process correctly?

You would have to enter as 2 separate adjustments in transaction entry, but secondary insurance only cares about the overall adjustment, so it is probably not necessary to go to that trouble.
