'Y' makes the Claim Original Reference Number field required when a claim is re-billed on the Electronic Re-Billing Service Assignment form.

'C' makes the Claim Original Reference Number field required if one of the following values is selected in the Claim Submission reason Code field on the Electronic Re-Billing Service Assignment form:

  • (6) Corrected (Adjustment of Prior Claim)
  • (7) Replacement (Replacement of Prior Claim)
  • (8) Void (Void/Cancel of Prior Claim)

'N' makes the Claim Original Reference Number field non-required. 

 If a service is being re-billed as an original, then the Original Reference Number is not needed in this case.
The Best Practice would be to set this value to 'C' so that the Claim Original Reference Number is required when the claim is being resubmitted as a Correction, Replacement, or Void.
