>>This should actually be sent to Joe. Joe, I think it would be a good idea to change the system so that these duplicate claims cannot be entered. I don't really know your situation, but part of the system I work on is a claims entry/adjudication system. We catch duplicate claims when they are entered.

12/29/97 This situation is really duplicate payments. It is suppose to be caught inthe as400 program
but there is a hole. We use a 3rd party for mainframe processing. I ran the report with a little added in
and it clearly demonstrated instances and count. I presented it at the Mgt. meeting and it was given
priority attention to get the 3rd party to resolve it . We use a Co. called Txen Inc. I would really like to
talk to someone else who uses them and their product or better yet find a users group which I can't
seem to locate by Inet or asking the vendor.
If I get a raise for this discovery I promise I'll send you a check for 10% of the amount.
Don"t hold your breath on the "raise" part ; I'm not.
