Scrubber Errors-How to Correct and Rebuild Claim

If the Scrubbing process finds a claim with errors/incomplete information, a Scrub Error message will pop up and the claim will automatically be moved to the On Hold section of Claims Manager.

This lesson will describe the errors and list the steps to correct the error(s). The Claim will then have to be Rebuilt to apply the corrections, and Scrubbed again. When the claim has passed the scrubbing process, it will be automatically moved to the Ready to Submit section.

Note: Edits/Corrections will not be applied to claims unless the Rebuild process is performed.
