Entering denial Reason Codes from EOBs

 

When insurance payers deny a TRX, they usually provide a denial reason, such as Ineligible patient, not medially necessary, etc.  These denial codes can be linked to each TRX.

 

On the Payment  posting Screen, there is a column labeled RSN for reason code.

Enter a number corresponding to the denial codes listed below.  These denial codes are based on the standard codes issued by Medicare.  These dened codes will appear on patient ledger.
