Why claim lines matter
A claim is a summary. The claim line is where you can see exactly which visit, on which date, produced which units and which charge — and trace it back to the EVV record. When a payer questions a claim, the claim line is the evidence.Reading a claim line
Tracing a line back to its visit
1
Note the member and service date
These identify the underlying visit.
2
Open Time & Attendance
Find the EVV visit for that member and date. See Time & Attendance.
3
Compare units
The visit’s actual units should match the claim line. A variance means a match rule adjusted it.
4
Check the match result
EVV match results shows which bill code rule was applied and any
variance it produced.
Investigating a partial payment
When a claim is paid for less than it was billed, work down rather than up:1

Review its claim lines
Identify which service dates make up the difference.
3
Check the remittance
The 835 carries adjustment codes explaining each reduction. See
Remittances.
4
Fix the cause, not the symptom
A recurring adjustment on the same service code usually means a configuration problem, not a
one-off.
