FCH Providers who have opted in for Weekly Claims Activity Reports can view the reports.

Reports are run every Monday and summarize all claims priced by FCH for your billing office (determined by Tax Identification Number).

Reports include the following information:

  • How the claim was received for pricing (batch type)
  • When the claim was received and completed
  • The FCH allowed amount
  • Disposition of the claim (forwarded on for processing or returned for errors)
  • Error codes associated with the claim
    • Note that the error description line will indicate the charge line that is associated with that specific error.

Providers who have opted to receive this report will not receive any FCH paper pricing worksheets. The report is to be reviewed weekly and if any errors are identified, all associated claims should be corrected and resent to FCH for pricing.
