OA 23 updates

Logic was updated for ERA processing when OA 23 is present ensure payments are posted appropriately.

The logic includes:

  • When OA 23 is present on the ERA and secondary insurance pays, only post the payment.

  • When OA 23 is present and partial payment and patient responsibility (PR1, PR2 or PR3 present), do not post OA 23 should not be posted as an adjustment.

  • When OA 23 is present on the ERA and there is no payment or patient responsibility, post OA 23 as a denial but adjustments can be posted for the amount reflecting the primary patient responsibility.

  • When secondary insurance process the claim with payment, but the payment amount is less than the primary patient responsibility post the payment. The remaining balance should be adjusted under OA 23.

  • When the secondary EOB has a denial code other than OA 23 (PR 27, PR 204, PR 96, PR26 etc.) Post the denial so that AR can work the claim as a denied claim.
