Delete a Denial Code

Deleting a denial code removes it from the pricing plan. If the code is referenced by one or more rate tables, you cannot delete it without first removing it from all rate tables. You do this by changing the price component containing the rate table.

Procedure

  1. In Denial Codes, click Delete Icon next to the denial code to delete.
    Note: If the denial code is not listed on the first page, click Previous and Next to display additional pages or enter the denial code name in the Search field to filter the list.
  2. Click Yes to confirm the deletion:
    • If the item is not used by another pricing item, the item is deleted.
    • If the item is used by other pricing items, it cannot be deleted until you remove the item from all pricing items.
    • If you do not want to remove the item from all pricing items, click Cancel to stop the operation and return to the list.
  3. If the item is used by other pricing items, and you still want to delete it, perform the following tasks:
    1. Click Show Usage.
      Usage Display lists pricing items that include the item to delete.
    2. In Usage Display, click the name of one of the items in the list.
      Note: To return to the original list of items to delete, click Cancel on the edit page and then select the Usage Display page.
    3. Click Delete the selected object in the row of the item to delete, to remove the pricing item, then select a different item to use for that pricing item. You might have to go to the tab containing the item.
    4. Repeat this procedure until you have removed the item from each of the pricing items in the Usage Display list.
    5. Return to the item list and try to delete the item again.
      If no more pricing items contain the item, the delete operation succeeds.
