We currently have a process that checks each claim that comes in against our core system to see if it is a duplicate. The current process will cut that claim from the file if it is. We aren't so concerned about single claims being sent as dupes here and there, we're more concerned about duplicate files. I know that our translator provides checking of the X12 interchange control number for duplicates. But this will only be effective if the TP sends the SAME file multiple times, it won't prevent multiple files with different int. ctrl nos. from getting loaded. We certainly don't want to get into the business of cutting claims in X12. What are other payers planning to do in the HIPAA world?
