201 Report
With the exception of the remittance advice, the 201 Report is the most important claims related ‘report’ generated by the FISS system. 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. Currently the Medicare 201 Report is only available through the Direct Data Entry (DDE) system for CGS J15 providers. The Medicare 201 Report can be accessed daily through DDE.
The 201 Report provides information on pending, processed, and returned claims; however, information regarding pending, or suspended claims, claims that are processing through the Common Working File (CWF), RTPd claims, and claims that are in the payment floor (PB9996), are all displayed on the Claim Count Summary Screen (Option 56) under Inquiries (01 – Main Menu) in DDE.
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. 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.
