Claim Rule: Setting Claim Rule Conditions

Understanding Claim Rule Conditions

"If/Then" Statements

Claim rules are constructed as "if-then" statements, where conditions are the "if", i.e. if the following conditions are met, "then" the selected behaviors will occur. See below for the three different types of claim rules and the conditions each offers.

"And" Statements

When selecting multiple conditions, please note that the rule will only apply when all the conditions are met.

Example: When selecting Primary Behavioral Payer and Bill Type Prefix, the rule will only apply to claims that meet both selections for Primary Behavioral Payer and Bill Type Prefix.

"Any" Statements

Within each condition, there may be a list of multiple choices. Please note that when any of the sub-conditions are met, the rule will apply.

Example: When selecting Primary Behavioral Payer, there is an option to select multiple payers (i.e. Aetna, Cigna, Beacon Health Options) that the rule will apply to. If any of the payers selected are in the patient’s profile, the rule will apply.
