Claim status codes

National administrative code set that identifies the status of health care claims. This code set is used in the X12 277 claim status notification transaction and is maintained by the Health Care Code Maintenance Committee.

Claim-Made basis (Policy attaching basis)

A form of reinsurance under which the date of claim reported is deemed to be the date of the loss event. Claims reported during the term of the reinsurance agreement are therefore covered, regardless of when they occurred. A claims made agreement is said to “cut of the tail” on liability business by not covering claims reported after the term of reinsurance agreement – unless extended by special agreement. See. Occurrence basis.
