About

The defaulted Match Status that is populated when posting adjudications is determined by the selections made in the HL7 Code Group: Claim Adjust Code grid. The ERA Auto-Match column determines the default for each Claim Adjust HL7 ID Code. It is recommended that your office review the pre-assigned ERA Auto-Match values, and confirm that the selection for each adjustment code is appropriate according to your standard office policies and procedures. Below, you'll learn:

ERA Auto-Match Options

• Unmatched: Indicates the adjudication cannot be matched since the system cannot clearly identify the transaction being adjudicated. 
• Matched: Indicates the adjudicated line does not require further review. This is the typical setting for adjudications where the payment, adjustment, and patient responsibility amounts are consistent with the expected response from the insurance. 
• Review: Indicates the item needs to be reviewed by the biller before it is approved. For example, adjudications with this setting may be part of bundling that your practice may choose to challenge.
• Appeal: Indicates that this adjustment code may require appeal because it indicates an error on the claim or there is a known payer response that your practice routinely appeals.
• Denied: Indicates the adjudication has been denied by insurance. Transactions with this setting have to be manually approved as Discard or Matched depending upon the intention of the user.
• Paid: Indicates the claim was already paid. For example, this is the typical setting for resubmission of a claim that was already processed.
• Repriced: Indicates the claim has been reassessed by the insurance and is pending further action by the payer. This needs to be manually changed to Discard in order to process the adjudication.
• Discard: Indicates the adjudication will be deleted from the table with no action taken once approved.

Edit the Default Match Status

Edits can be made to the default Match Statuses at any time. However, they will not be applied to adjudications that have already been brought into OP. All changes are applied the next time your office fetches adjudications.

1. Navigate to the Claim Adjust Code grid in the HIPAA Code Tables by following the path above.
2. In the HL7 ID column, click to select the Adjustment Code.
3. Click the Edit button .
4. In the ERA Auto-Match column, select the default Match Status setting from the drop-down menu.
5. Click the Save button  when finished.

Overrides to ERA Auto-Match Selection

The following Match Statuses are populated for adjudications regardless of what is selected in the ERA Auto-Match column:

• When an adjudication will cause the claim to be out-of-balance, the default Match Status is overridden to Discard. The Aprvd checkbox for these transactions is highlighted in yellow to alert the user that the line is out-of-balance and must be discarded and manually posted.
