The error indicates the service in the charge batch matches a service that was already posted to a claim. The error will present with the claim number to assist in troubleshooting the error. When viewing the original claim number, select the Claim History tab to view the service type.
Verify the facility, date of service, staff and service type are accurate. If the progress note or the first progress note is incorrect notify the clinical staff to make the corrections. If both progress notes are correct:

  • If the service type is set to combine on post (roll up) and the progress note is a late entry override the error: Right click on the batch line select Override Errors and then select Override 22 error (Duplicate). This will update the original claim with the additional units and update the charge amount.
  • If incorrect update the Combine Services on Post to the correct selection.

23  Duplicate Batch Claim
This error is similar to the error 22 but this error indicates the possible duplicate is in the same unposted charge batch or in a separate unposted charge batch. Verify the facility, date of service, staff and service type are accurate. If one of the progress notes are incorrect notify the clinical staff to make the needed corrections. If both progress notes are correct: 

Review the Service Type Maintenance to verify the Combine Service on Post field has the appropriate selection.

  • If incorrect update the Combine Services on Post to the correct selection.
  • If correct open a help desk ticket the error code 23 cannot be overridden.
