201 Report Guide

With the exception of the remittance advice, the 201 Report is the most important claims related report generated by the FISS system. Produced hardcopy on a weekly basis, this report has three main sections. Two are informational in nature, while the "Returned To Provider" section is extremely important because it identifies the claims that have not passed our edits and must be addressed by the provider before processing can resume. The 201 Report also has a daily version that can be accessed through the Direct Data Entry (DDE) system.

Summary of Pending Claims

The "Pending" section of the 201 Report lists all the claims that are pending within FISS as of the point in time the 201 Report is generated. For hardcopy versions, this is every Wednesday night. A claim will continue to appear on this section of the 201 Report until it has either been processed or "returned". The claims will be listed in alphabetical order based on the patient's last name. The report is also segmented to list claims of similar bill types together, such as inpatient, outpatient, etc. On DDE versions, the data reflects the status as of the conclusion of the previous work day. The following provides a definition of each heading within the report.
