To support providers who continue to handle and process legacy MassHealth claims, this legacy edit code list will remain on the MassHealth Web site for a while. Please note that these denial codes reflect only legacy MMIS denials. - List of Explanation of Benefit Codes Appearing on the Remittance Advice (PDF)
These are EOB codes, revised for NewMMIS, that may appear on your PDF remittance advice. This list was formerly published as Part 6 of the administrative and billing instructions in Subchapter 5 of your MassHealth provider manual. It has now been removed from the provider manuals and is being posted as a freestanding document. For more information on how to correct a claim, see the revised Part 6 of the administrative and billing instructions. The MassHealth provider manuals are available in the Provider Library of the MassHealth Web site. - NewMMIS Billing Tips (PDF)
