Reason Codes Library
You can create and maintain reason codes in a Reason Codes library. A reason code is a brief description that is added to a transaction to explain how that transaction was handled. When ERA files are involved, reason codes are returned in the file by the payer to describe how the service was reimbursed. Reason code libraries group related reason codes together. For example, you can have a reason code library that contains the reasons that a claim can be cancelled. You can generate the Reason Codes Master report from the Reason Codes library.
