I’m using Availity and they are rejecting a batch file because in the Loop 2310B it is showing E1 when it should be showing EI.  How in the world do I fix this.  I have looked at the gen_x12_837.inc.php file.  Located the Loop 2310B but not sure what to change.  Thanks for any help you can give me!!

There is a typographical error on the menu available at Administration-Practice-Insurance Numbers-Providers-(select provider name)-then there is a field for the Provider Number. Next to the field is the Type: menu with the error and the error is that E1 is not correct, but must be capital E followed by the capital letter I, not by number 1.

In which file should this correction take place? Not the generate X12 file?

@drholmes, You can change the E1 in /library/classes/InsuranceNumbers.class.php line 22

I have a similar problem.

My claim made it through Availity, but was rejected from BC/BS because of a " Loop 2400, SV107 " error.

The error message stated, " Composite Diagnosis Code Pointer is required. "

Thank you to anyone who could help me with this please?

First, get the Availity reference guide to help you troubleshoot the error codes. Go to Availity home page-click on Availity Resources tab-click on References-click on EDI Guidelines (pdf). In the PDF file, click on the Availity CMS-1500 Quick Reference Guide for Electronic Data Elements (a pdf file) and print a copy. Use this Quick Reference to determine the error, in this case one of the 4 diagnoses. Go back to OpenEMR to the date-of-service Fee Sheet to verify the diagnoses are justified and look for any other input error you may have made regarding the particular loop or segment.

Regarding the E1 / EI error, I found that with x12 claims to Availity I do not need any data in the Update Provider Number fields for insurance companies at the Administration-Practice-Insurance Numbers-Providers-(select provider name, select insurance company). All are left blank and solved the issue.

Thank you Dr. Holmes,

I figured out the problem.  It was simply that I did not justify my CPT code with the ICD-9.
