Why are there discrepancies when I compare the Web interChange
RA with the 835 transaction?
For clarification, the Web interChange Remittance Advice (RA)
reports only dollar amounts without balancing concerns. This dollar
amount reflects prior payment information including spend-down,
third party liability (TPL), and Medicare payments; or Medicare
co-insurance or deductible as submitted with the original claim.
For a technical example of the IHCP 835 transaction adjustment
information related to the balancing methodology identified in the
4050 draft version of the 835 guide, please review Electronic
835/Web interChange RA Comparison.
