Issues Resolved:

Release 7.12.0

Character count for Subscriber Name updated

According to ANSI x12 EDI Standards, NM1 segments (Subscriber Name) allow up to 60 characters for the last name, 35 for the first name, and 25 for the middle name. The Client Insurance List in Billing, as well as other forms that have name fields, will now follow that standard.

Claim Number population on the Line Item fixed

Previously, if an 835 file contained multiple CLP (Claim Payment Information) segments for a client, only the last Claim Number would populate in the Line Item Form's Original Reference Number field. Now, each CLP segment Claim Number should match the corresponding Line Item.


Additionally, claims that are Unable to Post or otherwise sent to the Working Queue will also have their Claim Number added to the Line Item upon posting.

Calculation of CLM total for Institutional claims fixed

In the 837 Form, when a client has over 50 Line Items split into multiple CLM segments for Institutional claims, the CLM segment total does not always equal the sum of the lines. This causes rejections from the clearinghouse/payer. This has been resolved.
