Review and resubmit claims
You can review, revise, and resubmit claims in the Stedi portal. This includes professional claims you submitted through the portal as well as professional, dental, and institutional claims third-party vendors submitted through Stedi on your behalf.
Find specific claims
The Transactions page shows all submitted 837 claims, 277CA claim acknowledgments, and 835 Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) responses.
Click Filters to narrow the list to specific claims. We recommend the following filters:
Filter | Description |
---|---|
Search term | We recommend entering the claim's Patient Control Number (Loop 2300 CLM01 ) if it's unique for each claim. This will help you find the specific claim you're looking for. If you don't have the Patient Control Number, you can search for another identifier, such as the patient's member ID or last name, to help narrow down the results. The search term must match what's in the claim exactly, including all spaces, capitalization, and punctuation. |
Date processed | This is the date Stedi received the claim, not the date of service. Make sure you select the correct Time zone at the bottom of the filter. |
Transaction | Select 837 Health Care Claim to filter for only submitted claims. Stedi will show all claim types - professional, dental, and institutional (if present) in the filtered list. |
Once you find the transaction you want to review or resubmit, click it to open its details page.
Revise and resubmit claims
You may need to resubmit claims for several reasons, including changes to the patient's coverage, errors in the original claim's information, or appealing a denied claim. You may also need to cancel duplicate claims or claims that were submitted in error.
You can manually revise and resubmit professional, dental, and institutional claims in your account. To manually resubmit a claim:
- Go to the details page for the claim you want to resubmit.
- Click Edit and resubmit. Stedi opens the claim in an interactive editor with the X12 EDI on the left and the EDI specification on the right. As you hover over different parts of the EDI, Stedi highlights the corresponding part of the specification in the Inspector tab to help you understand what each part of the EDI means and how to edit it correctly.
- Make any necessary changes to the claim EDI.
- You can type directly in the EDI editor or copy and paste updated EDI from another source. Make sure to update the Claim Frequency Code, Payer Claim Control Number, and Patient Control Number according to best practices.
- You can switch to the Reference transactions tab to review related 277CAs containing the errors you need to address before resubmitting. Click a transaction to review its details.
- Click Review and submit. Stedi shows a comparison of the original claim and the new claim containing your changes.
- Click Resubmit claim to send the updated claim to the payer.
Stedi validates the updated claim and submits it to the payer. It will appear on the Transactions page as a new 837 claim. You will also receive new 277CA claim acknowledgments indicating whether the resubmitted claim was accepted or rejected.
Claim Frequency Code
Set the Claim Frequency Code to one of the following values. In X12 EDI, this is the Loop 2300 CLM05-03
(Claim Frequency Code) component.
- Resubmit to Stedi or another payer: Set to
1
- Admit thru Discharge Claim. Either Stedi rejected the claim due to validation errors, or you're resubmitting the claim to a different payer for the first time. In either case, the payer hasn't yet processed the claim. - Correct or replace claims: Set to
7
- Replacement of Prior Claim. In this case, the payer processed the original claim. - Cancel claims: Set to
8
- Void/Cancel of Prior Claim.
Payer Claim Control Number
When correcting, replacing, or canceling claims, you should include the Payer Claim Control Number (sometimes called the ICN) from the original claim for identification. In X12 EDI, this is Loop 2300 REF02
, where REF01
= F8
(Original Reference Number).
- The Payer Claim Control Number is different from the value you sent in the original claim's
Loop 2300 CLM01
(Patient Control Number). - You can retrieve the Payer Claim Control Number from one of the payer's 277CA claim acknowledgments in
Loop 2200D REF02
whenREF01
is set to1K
(Payor's Claim Number).
Patient Control Number
When correcting or replacing claims, we also recommend setting a new, unique Patient Control Number. In X12 EDI, this is the Loop 2300 CLM01
element. The payer includes this value in their 835 ERA, allowing you to easily correlate that response with your resubmission.
Claim details
The claim's details page shows an overview of the claim, including the patient, provider, and service information.
