Claim Rule Conditions create criteria for a claim to meet that instruct the system to apply a change. A good claim rule has three components: If/Then statements, And statements, and Any statements.
Let's review each component together!
- Claim rules are constructed as "if-then" statements, where conditions are the "if," i.e. if the following conditions are met, "then" the selected behaviors will occur.
Example: If the claim type is institutional, delivered electronically, and the current sequence behavioral carve-out payer is BCBS Florida, the system will create the claim using the Facility NPI as the billing provider. -
When selecting multiple conditions, it's important to note the rule will only apply when all the conditions are met.
Example: If the claim type is institutional, delivered electronically, has a bill-type prefix of 86, and the current sequence behavioral carve-out payer is BCBS Florida, the rule applies only to claims that meet all 4 selections/conditions.
-
There may be multiple choices within each condition; it's important to note the rule will only apply when all the sub-conditions are met
Example: When selecting Current Sequence Behavioral Carve-Out, there is an option to select multiple payers (e.g., Aetna, Cigna, BCBS Florida) to which the rule will apply. The rule will apply if any of the payers selected are in the patient’s profile as long as the other conditions have been met.
