The Statement of Financial Activity or SOFA queries allows the Provider application to reconcile with the Adjudicator. This may be necessary over time when the Provider application and Adjudicator application have made different interpretations of what monies are owed to a Payee (or their agent).

Purpose

To demonstrate how a query for SOFA Detail information is generated and submitted. A request for Account Details, in the event that a discrepancy has occurred, yields a response that contains a complete record of each transaction within the defined group of transactions identified by the Provider.

Narrative Example

Bender Clinic maintains standard office hours and procedures. As part of the Clinic's end of day procedures, Account Summaries are requested from each Payor for the current business day and compared to an internal report generated from the practice management application.

Upon closing on Monday December 17, 2001, the Chiropractor on duty generates an internal summary report for each of the Payors with which the Clinic does business. The date selected for these reports is December 17, 2001. These are set aside. He then requests an Account Summary from each Payor noting December 17, 2001 as the adjudication date. Below is a depiction of the response received from one of the Payors. Please note the Clinic's practice management application stores the Account Summary Response and offers the user the option to view the file or have it print to paper. The Chiropractor, as a rule, always prints the file.

Account Summary - Bender Clinic

Adjudication Date: December 17, 2001

Payor: HC Payor, Inc.

  • Number of Invoices Processed: 125

  • Total Dollar Value: $2,536.25

  • Number of Same Day reversals: 2

  • Value of Same Day reversals: $15.05

  • Number of Prior Reversals: 0

  • Value of Prior Reversals: $0.00

  • Number of Rejected Items: 0

  • Value of Rejected Items: $0.00

  • Number of Pay Patient Items: 0

  • Value of Pay Patient Items: $0.00

  • Net Invoices Processed: 123

  • Net Dollar Value: $2,521.20

The Chiropractor then compares the values noted on the Account Summary report to the values noted on the internal report for the same Payor. He notices that the values don't match. The internal report notes a net of 122 Invoices processed with a dollar value of $2,395.75. There is one Invoice valued at $125.45 not accounted for. As the alarm company is already calling, the Chiropractor decides to set this aside to rectify tomorrow.

Upon his arrival on Tuesday December 18, 2001, the Chiropractor first generates an internal detail report that notes details of the 122 Invoices processed by HC Payor, Inc. December 17, 2001. He then requests an Account Detail from the Payor for the adjudication date of December 17, 2001. Again, his application offers him the choice to either view the file on the screen or print a copy. He elects to print a copy.

As both reports are sorted by Invoice number, he quickly compares the two and discovers that there is one Invoice noted on the Account Detail report that is not noted on his internal detail report. This Invoice happens to have a value of $125.45 associated with it. The Chiropractor then enters the Invoice number into his practice management application.

This exercise reveals that the system never received a response from the Payor for that particular Invoice. This explains why it was never included on the internal summary and detail reports.

The Chiropractor contacts HC Payor's Provider call centre. He provides the call centre representative with the required information. The rep reviews the Invoice and discovers that the Adjudication Response for the Invoice was generated, however, it was never received by the Provider due to a momentary network problem. So instead of throwing the Adjudication Results away, the Payor placed the Adjudication Results on a queue for the Provider. Despite this, the system still considered the Invoice to have been successfully processed and thus why the Account Summary and Detail responses included it. The call centre rep instructs the Chiropractor to poll the queue (to get the missing Adjudication Results) and re-run his reports.

The Chiropractor does as he is instructed. Upon re-processing his reports, all of the values reconcile.

Purpose

These are compared to an internal report generated from the hospital's financial management application. Below are the results from a request for an Account Summary Detail from HC Payor, Inc.

Preferred Accomodation Account Summary - Good Health Hospital

  • Net Dollar Value: $51,700.00

The accounting clerk compares the values on the Account Summary report to the values noted on the internal report for the same Payor. He notices the values do not match. The internal report notes a net of 122 Invoices processed with a dollar value of $50,250.00. There is one Invoice valued at $450.00 for two semi-private rooms not accounted for. The clerk first generates an internal detail report that notes details of the 122 Invoices processed by HC Payor, Inc. He then requests an Account Detail from the Payor for the adjudication date of January 14, 2002. Again, his application offers him the choice to either view the file on the screen or print a copy. He elects to print a copy.

As both reports are in Invoice Number sequence, he quickly compares the two and discovers that there is one Invoice noted on the Account Detail report not listed on his internal detail report. This Invoice happens to have a value of $450.00 associated with it. The clerk enters the Invoice number into his financial management application. This exercise reveals the system never received a response from the Payor for that particular Invoice. This explains why it was never included on the internal summary and detail reports.

Description

This model represents a message used to send a SOFA Details Query Request message from a Provider (e.g. individual practitioner, healthcare facility, medical goods and supplies purveyor) to an Insurance Carrier (e.g. jurisdictional medical services plan, insurance organization, workers compensation organization).

An Insurance Carrier may delegate performance of this function to an Adjudicator (agent of the Insurance Carrier). Subsequent discussions only note Provider and Adjudicator (not Insurance Carrier).

It is used when an out of balance situation has been detected between the Provider receivables and Adjudicator payables. Details of the billable items are requested to aid in identifying the suspected billing discrepancy.

The response is the SOFA Details Query Results message. The details are categorized by Adjudication Result status code state (e.g. acknowledged, pended, rejected, paid etc).

The details are made up of the AdjudResultsGroup supported by the AdjudicatedInvoiceElementGroup, AdjudicationResult and the InvoiceElementGroup references and amounts.
