ECS Module
This
module stores references to the invoices that have been used to create
(or tried to create) your last electronic claims file. When you
click
in ECS Control,
this database is erased and new invoices loaded in to create your new
file.
If you create a file successfully AND the acknowledgement file (997)
from the receiving computer says the file was accepted, you would not
need to come to this file. However, if there are errors found either
during file creation, or after the file is created but before another one is made,
you can review the invoices, fix the errors and recreate the file.
The graphic below shows a sample file of 11 Medicare invoice. The
columns are self explanatory.

arrow circled in red abov, the view changes to the one below where you
can review the important information on that invoice.

put here to wither away!
