Deposit Batch Amount Error Type
A Deposit Batch Amount Error remittance record represents a discrepancy between the deposit total listed and the sum of the payments included in the deposit. Typically, this type of remittance results from a lockbox error or from a practice error made when you use a BYOLB template.
A Deposit Batch Amount Error record is created when a discrepancy exists between the deposit total and the itemized payment total.
With a few exceptions, athenahealth reconciles these deposit batch errors, so no practice action is required; however, if a Deposit Batch Amount Error remittance record is moved to the practice's queue to be worked, please review the history section of the record. This section contains a detailed note with the action to take next.
Review the BYOLB template or lockbox detail and verify any errors that athenahealth has identified. You may need to contact your lockbox for additional deposit details. After the error is corrected, return the record to athenahealth for deposit correction or posting.
