- The claim acknowledgement is generated when an 837 health care claim file is processed, and is used to report details on the number of claims accepted or rejected.
- Claim acknowledgements do not report claim adjudication status.
- One claim acknowledgement file can be associated with an 837 file.
- The 277 file directory and automation settings are configured on the 277 Claim Acknowledgement section of the Import/Export File Configuration form.
Prerequisites:
- An 837 file must be created with an associated claim acknowledgement.
