Above is a sample of what an ACS RA (Remittance Advice) looks like.  Each and every claim

(paid AND denied) that the pharmacy transmitted during a cycle will appear on the RA.

 

The prescriptions are listed in the following order:

 

1.       Paid claims appear first, in cardholder ID order, then by TCN.  Cardholder ID’s do not

      appear on the remittance, but claims are listed in ascending cardholder ID order.  Then

      within a cardholder, claims are sorted by TCN order.

 

2.       After the paid claims, the denied claims appear, also in Cardholder ID order an then by TCN. 

      If a pharmacist complains about not seeing a claim for which he got a paid response online,

      and he is only seeing the denied one, please ask him to look in the front of the RA.
