HIPAA Dental COB ClaimHIPAA Dental COB Claim Mapping Exercise Example

HIPAA Dental COB Claim example and exercise represent how to generate HIPAA Dental COB Claim file for processing by the destination payer.

HIPAA Dental COB Claim Scenario

Patient PUFFY DOG is seen a dentist DONALD D, DUCK in the office INFINITE ENDODONTICS. The payer of the HIPAA Dental COB Claim is MCO Defined with Identifier MCO Defined ID. The dental practice is working with a Clearing house to generate HIPAA Dental COB Claim file to be submitted for processing by the destination payer. The Clearing House assigns a refrence number KS025424659 to the claim for future reference.

The dental service was performed in a different Location called WATERFRONT DENTAL CENTER having NPI = 1710064597. The HIPAA Dental COB Claim has been first adjudicated by the primary insurance and now it is submitted to the secondary insurance for the remainder of the payment.

Information for the HIPAA Dental COB Claim

  • The date of service of the claim is 01/11/2018.
  • Patient PUFFY*DOG has a Subscriber identifier # 970398931 (shared with the spouse CURLY, HOUND)
  • The provider billed the client with $1600
  • He has dental coverage under a different insurance called MY MEDICARE COMPANY with identifier # 12345. The Subscriber of this insurance is CURLY*HOUND with Identifier # 923190575 and relationship code = 01 (spouse)
  • Since this is his Primary insurance (ID = 12345), it pays $100 on 02/02/2018. The rest of the payment is considered to be Patient responsibility and part of it was paid as DEDUCTIBLE = $200, COINSURANCE = $50 and COPAY = $10. There is still $1240 to be covered by the secondary insurance (Destination Payer).

In this exercise you are going to use the correct dollar amounts for each service line keeping in mind that the service must be correctly balanced.

The main purpose of this claim is to show the requirement for balancing dental claim of a patient who has two insurances (Primary – MY MEDICARE COMPANY, with ID = 12345) and Secondary insurance – MCO Defined with ID = MCO Defined ID).

Each individual service line has to be balanced with the formula:

BA (Billed amount) = PA (Paid amount) + SUM(Adjustments)

This is displayed with information of the following segments:

BA – (Billed amount) = SV302
PA (Paid amount) = SVD02
Adjustments = SUM(CAS03)

Example :
Service # 1 -> 600 = 0 + (100 + 25 + 475)
Service # 2 -> 800 = 0 + (100 + 700)
Service # 3 -> 200 = 100 + (25 + 10 + 65)

To balance the claim level we use the following formula :

Claim BA (CBA) = CPA(claim paid amount) + SUM(CAS segments of all service lines)

CBA – (Claim billed amount) = CLM02
CPA – (Claim paid amount) = AMT*D*02
SUM (Adjustments) = SUM( all Service level CAS segments)

Example :
1600 = 100 + (600 + 800 + 100)
NOTE : Member can have more than one “OTHER INSURANCES”. In the case of more than one insurances, each prior payer (insurance) will have to include their share in the adjudication of the claim by submitting segments from SBR to NM1*PR (loop 2320 through 2330B) in the claim level and also segments from SVD through AMT*EAF for each individual service line as SVD01 = NM1*PR*09 (link of payment to the corresponding Payer).

Dental COB claims are usually submitted with payment and balancing of each service line. In this case, claim level balancing will not be required.
