Quick Reference — To correct BADPKG claims
Worklist: HOLD
Issue: The billed insurance package appears to be incorrect.
Next Steps: Please scan and upload a copy of the patient's insurance card. Review the patient's insurance card image to verify the selected athenaOne package matches based on payer, product type and claim submission address. After the insurance details are updated, please resubmit the claim.
- Review and verify insurance package selection
- Make necessary corrections and resubmit the claims
Note: If after acting on this error, the claim remains in a hold status (HOLD or MGRHOLD), the claim requires additional review or work.
First, run an updated DOS eligibility check through athenaOne. Based on that response, contact the patient to verify eligibility with the insurance carrier. If the patient has new information about the current insurance policy, display the Quickview and update the insurance information. If another insurance needs to be billed, obtain the insurance information. If this new insurance package does not exist in the patient record, display the Quickview and add the insurance package. If the insurance information is correct, ask the patient to contact the payer for details about eligibility.
- Display the Claim Edit page: Click the edit claim link on the Claim Review or Post Payment page (the link is on the line item's advanced.
- Make sure that there is an open balance in the payer column. For example, to bill a different primary, there must be an open balance in the primary column of the claim.
- Void any previously posted adjustments and transfers in the payer columns that you wish to change. Do not void any payments or takebacks.
If you billed the incorrect payer in error and that payer paid on the claim, contact the payer to issue a refund. If the balance cannot be opened properly because of the way payments are posted, contact the CSC from athenaOne > Support > Success Community > Contact Client Support Center.
