  • Publication number: 20030163778
    Abstract: A system and method for providing a limited number of special edits to claims during electronic document exchange to facilitate claims compliance. A limited number of fields in each claim file are defined as key fields which have data corresponding to stored verification data. Files having incomplete or inaccurate data in any field are identified as errored claims. The claims identified as having errors in the key fields are automatically edited by exchanging the incomplete or inaccurate data for the stored verification data. The fields of a claim other than those defined as key fields are precluded from being automatically edited. By limiting the number of key fields to be automatically edited, the number of edits are controlled to expedite the validation process and to preclude false claims compliance.
