Denied/Duplicate Claim Line Information
Enter Duplicate Claim Line TCN:


Tips for entering and interpretting data:

1. You must enter the Claim Line TCN in the first section; entering a Claim Header TCN will not retrieve any information.
2. A claim header level Transaction Control Number (TCN) is an 18 digit number where the last three digits are zeros.
    A line level TCN replaces the last three digits with the Line # from the RA zero-filled to the left. For example an
    RA with a TCN of 992005251123456000 and a Line # 3 would be 992005251123456003
3. Hospitals that receive prospective payments should reference the Allowed Amount column; the Paid Amount will always show $0.00.
4. If the Pay Date information does not display, please contact the MaineCare Billing & Information Unit at 1-800-321-5557 or 207-624-7539
    for additional assistance.
5. In accordance with HIPAA standards, the claim information displayed is limited to information that does not identify the provider or member.
    Keeping this in mind, please be sure to double check the TCN entered when verifiying information.
6. This data is refreshed weekly.
