Overview

The HIPAA Code Tables window manages the codes used in e-Billing. Generally, you should not change or remove the values in these tables. You can, however, add items if you find that your claims and/or adjudications are returning codes that are not currently defined in the database. You can also reorder the lists in which the items will appear in to make it easier to locate.

The following are the available HL7 Code Groups:

  • Entity ID Code
  • Provider ID Type
  • Claim Adjust Code
  • Claim Status Category
  • Claim Status Code
  • Claim Payment Status
  • Eligibility Reject Code
  • ERA Remark Code
  • Claim Filing Indicator
