: Physician 1500 billing
: jc071172 September 20, 2012, 07:47:11 PM

Does anyone know of any way to distinguish, as far as any fields on the HCFA-1500 goes, if there are multiple 1500 claims for the same patient visit, versus a single 1500 claim billed out and then re-billed out? For Example:

If my manager asked me to pull up acct#XXXXXXXX and check to see if there were any pro fees billed out and if so, were they billed seperately on 1500's or are they re-bills, how would I know? On a UB-04 you have the Control# FL04(also called Bill#) and then you also have Bill Types to help let you know if it is the original bill or a corrected bill, but I can't find a control/bill# or Bill type on a 1500 claim.

Thanks for any help.....

With any database structure, things like that and reporting like that really wholly depend on HOW data was entered to identify certain things. Unless it was identified when entered then it's nearly impossible to pull data out with any type of identifier.   This is why it's always good to be as detailed as possible with your data entry.  Good data in=  Good Data Out.
