Frequently Asked Questions 

What steps do I need to take to correct my charges when an adjustment has been made to an unpaid claim or a rejected line item in the fiscal intermediary shared system (FISS)?

The following steps should be taken:

  • Remove the revenue code by entering a “D”.
  • When you click the ‘home’ key, the cursor will move to the ‘0’ part of the “claim page” field.
  • If you press enter, the entire line will be deleted.
  • You should re-enter the corrected charges below the 0001 line. Press “home”, then “enter”; the revenue codes line(s) will be sorted by numeric sequence once you have filled in all the information.
  • Don’t forget to adjust your total charges if necessary.
