Quick Reference — To correct PTADDRESS claims
Worklist: HOLD
Issue: The payer indicates the patient's address is invalid as submitted on the claim.
Next Steps: Verify the patient's information, make necessary changes and resubmit all applicable claims with DRPPATIENT.
- Verify patient demographics.
- Make necessary corrections and resubmit the claim.
Note: If after acting on this error, the claim remains in a hold status (HOLD or MGRHOLD), the claim requires additional review or work.
Note: At least one change must be made to the claim before it can be resubmitted. It is not compliant to resubmit a claim without changes only to see whether the claim will be paid if you resubmit it to the payer.
