Medical Claims Report

Understanding Yuzu's medical claims report. 

Description and Important Notes

The medical claims report is where you can find the most detailed reporting on a group’s medical claims. The report is found on the “Reports” tab of the portal and is designed to include more information than the summary view shown on the “Claims” tab.

A few important notes:

  • The medical claims report only shows adjudicated claims. Pending claims can be viewed on the “Claims” tab.

  • The report is a snapshot in time. In order to get up-to-date information, regenerate the claims report on a regular basis.

  • The report will be generated as a .csv file and will include a raw data view of all adjudicated claims.

  • This report contains Personal Health Information, it may be anonymized or redacted based on your access.

If you are unable to download the report, try normal troubleshooting steps. If you’re still unable to access, email partners@yuzu.health.

Interpretation Guide

1. Each row is one service, not one claim. A single claim often includes several services, and each one gets its own row. Rows that share a claimNumber belong to the same claim; claimLineNumber tells them apart. If you want the total for a claim, add up its rows. Summing a column without accounting for this can double count patient responsibility that appears once but relates to one visit.

2. Start with the claim status. claimStatus tells you whether the claim was approved or denied. For denied claims, look at remarkCodes and remarkCodeDescriptions, which explain the reason in plain language.

3. Know who the row is about. The patient is the person who received care; the employee is the subscriber (i.e., the person who holds the coverage). When an employee's spouse or child receives care, the patient fields and employee fields will differ. patientRelationship shows how they're connected.

4. Follow the money. The dollar columns tell one story: billedAmount is what the provider charged. discountAmount is the network discount taken off that charge, and allowedAmount is what remains, the price the plan recognizes. The allowed amount is then split between the plan (planPaidAmount) and the patient. The patient's share is broken into deductibleAmount, copayAmount, and coinsuranceAmount, and patientPaidAmount is what the patient paid out of pocket. ineligibleAmount is any portion the plan doesn't cover at all.

5. Check whether payment has gone out. paidDate works three ways: a date means the payment was issued, PENDING means the plan owes a payment that hasn't gone out yet, and blank means no plan payment applies (common when the full amount went to the patient's deductible). checkNumber lists the checks tied to the payment.

6. Use the code descriptions, not the codes. cpt1 identifies the service performed and icd10_1 identifies the diagnosis, but you rarely need to decipher them: the columns next to each code carry a written description. Modifier columns add detail about how a service was performed and are often blank.

7. Mind the dates. dateOfServiceFromDate and dateOfServiceToDate are when care happened. receivedDate, processedDate, and paidDate track the claim's path afterward. A claim from March may not be paid until May, so recent months in the report are usually incomplete.

8. Note the network status. networkStatus shows INN (in network) or OON (out of network). Out-of-network services typically cost the patient more. This field is sometimes blank when network pricing didn't apply.

9. Open the claim for full detail. Every row includes a linkToClaim that takes you to the claim in the portal, where you can see documents, history, and payment detail beyond what fits in the report.
