Rejection Message

Your claims cannot be submitted to the secondary insurance because the charge amount does not equal the sum of the paid amount and all line adjustment amounts. This would result in a rejection at the clearinghouse. Please open Encounters > Track Claim Status, then find the claim ID above, review the transaction history, locate and open the payment from the primary insurance, and finally, review the amount paid by the primary and all line adjustments amounts and make any necessary corrections. The primary paid amount + all line adjustments must equal the original service line charge.

Rejection Details

Kareo Validation Error

This rejection indicates the sum of the paid amount and all line adjustment amounts does not equal to the charge amount.

Claims billed with an invalid paid and adjustment amount will reject at the clearinghouse; therefore Kareo has held the claim until the error has been corrected. You must correct the error and resubmit the claims in order for them to be delivered to the payer.
 
Note: Since claims rejected within Kareo are not forwarded to the clearinghouse you will be unable to generate timely filing for that submission until validation errors have been corrected and the claim

Resolution

Follow the steps below to correct the payment:
