Update to corrected claims goes into effect June 2
Effective June 2, 2025, all submitted claims requiring a correction – both facility and professional, regardless of any allowed / paid amount on the original claim – will require submission of a corrected claim with frequency code 7.
Amount allowed on original claim | Current process | Process effective June 2 |
$0 allowed | Submit a new claim | Submit a corrected claim with frequency code 7 |
Partially or fully paid | Submit a corrected claim with frequency code 7 |
After June 2, new claims submitted to correct an original claim with $0 allowed will be rejected with the direction to submit a corrected claim instead.
This change supports our alignment with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regulations that state all rebills for $0 allowed claims are corrected claims and must be billed with frequency code 7.
Reminder: Corrected claims must include the original claim ID
We require that corrected claims – submitted to either replace, correct or void an original claim that was partially or fully paid – include the original claim ID. As we shared in January, we’ll soon begin front-end rejecting corrected claims (both facility and professional) that have an invalid / incorrect original claim ID.
