Understanding remittance statuses

Report status

  • READY: Remittance received and ready to view
  • COMPLETE: Fully processed and reconciled
  • PROCESSING: Still being matched to claims in your system

Process status

  • COMPLETE: All claims in the remittance have been matched and reconciled
  • MEDICARE_ASS...: Medicare assessment in progress
  • Partial statuses: Some claims may still be processing

If a remittance shows PROCESSING for more than 24 hours, check that all referenced claims exist in your system. Missing claims may prevent automatic reconciliation.


Reconciling payments

Use remittance reports to match deposits in your bank account:

  1. Check the run date: Match this to the deposit date in your bank statement (usually 1-2 business days later)
  2. Verify the deposit amount: Confirm the total matches what arrived in your account
  3. Review the claim summary: Ensure all claims were paid the expected benefit amount
  4. Cross-reference transaction IDs: Link remittances back to original claims if you need to investigate discrepancies

Export remittances by date range and import into your accounting software to automate reconciliation workflows.
