Prior to the CR5567 changes, all payments were posted against the general claim total (Unify artrans record) and not against the individual line items/revenue codes. With the new regulations, all payments and adjustments will now be made against the actual individual revenue postings (Unify ardtail records), which will also enable mumms® reporting of payments and adjustments by patient, revenue code, and pay source.

Manually posting payments will be different as well. Previously, the total claim payment was posted with a single payment entry. Under the new method, payment posting will require multiple payment entries; i.e., one for each revenue posting, which is extremely time consuming.

When utilizing the 835 files, the process will happen automatically, as the intermediaries report payments and adjustments by line item. The 835 modules will use this information and automatically make all the necessary line item postings. This process is completed in less than ten minutes and is the most efficient and accurate way to post payments.
