About Claim Statuses
A claim's status typically indicates where it is in the billing process:
- Claims start in Reviewing, where they can be reviewed and submitted to the payer.
- Claims in Waiting have been returned to the therapist so corrections can be made on a daily note.
- Claims in Queued are being processed by Fusion and submitted to the clearinghouse.
- Claims in Submitted have been received by the clearinghouse and are being sent to the payer.
- Claims in Accepted have received an acceptance message from the payer and are being processed.
- Claims in Rejected have received a rejection message from the payer.
- Claims in Not Paid have been processed by the payer and are linked to a remit with a denial.
- Claims in Paid have been processed by the payer and are linked to a remit with a paid amount.
- Claims in Completed have been finalized to a billing account.
