  2. My claim was returned with reason code 12302. How do I correct this?

    When you receive this reason code, you need to verify the covered days billed on claim page 1 and the covered units billed on claim page 2.  If you are using a patient status code 30, you need to add one day to the calculation of covered days.

  3. My claim was sent to the RTP file indicating I need to add occurrence code 47 and the date the claim reached the PPS dollar threshold amount. How can I find the PPS dollar threshold amount?

    When your claim is on the RTP file, the PPS dollar threshold will be located on FISS claim page 6 under the heading 'outlier amount.'  This instruction can be found in the FISS Training Guide.
