Update of Institutional Claims References
The claims processing manual chapters are being updated to reflect changes in the form locators/data elements for institutional provider claims processing and instructions. In
most cases, the form locator/data element locations are being deleted as the chapters refer to the institutional policy and not the forms/formats. Cross-references have been inserted to direct the reader to Chapter 25 that does include the crosswalks to the forms/formats. Where the form locators cannot be removed, the sections have been updated with UB-04 form locators.
