    After submitting the claim and receiving a claim response, the Copy, Replace, or Void action buttons will appear at the bottom of the claim response screen. Use each of these features to do the following:

    Copy – To correct an error of this denied claim or to copy information from this previously submitted claim.

    Replace – To replace the previously paid claim if the claim paid, but paid incorrectly (including zero pay). The user may access the claim, correct the information and resubmit. The original paid claim will be taken back and replaced with the new claim submission.

    Void (take back) – If the claim was submitted in error. This reverses the claim and takes the payment back.

    Review the Copy, Replace, Void (take back), or Reverse a Claim User Guide for step-by-step instructions when completing these transactions.
