PI-xx and OA-xx | Secondary billing
« on: October 19, 2022, 01:47:11 PM »
When we submit a bill to secondary insurance, how are we supposed to act on the Claim Adjustment Reason Groups?

For example, after billing a primary insurance, I might have something like:
  • Charge: $350
  • Provider Paid: $215
  • CO-45: $70
  • OA-96: $20
  • PI-103: $10
  • PR-2: $35
(I made up the Claim Status Reason Codes (e.g. 103), because my question is about the GROUP CODES - i.e. CO/OA/PI/PR)

If the patient has secondary insurance, I can obviously pass along the $35 PR-2, but am I also allowed/supposed to bill the secondary for the PI and OA amounts?

Meaning: Do I bill the secondary for $35? $45? $65?

Thanks in advance!
