Multiple Choice

A cancel claim includes TOB XX8 and a condition code. If payment has already been received, the ICN number is also included on the claim.

When a claim is being canceled after payment, you need a unique identifier that ties the cancellation to the exact paid claim. That identifier is the ICN (Internal Control Number). Including the ICN on the cancel claim lets the payer locate the specific paid transaction and reverse it accurately, preventing misapplied reversals or duplicate adjustments. Other data like the Payer ID only indicates who paid, not which specific claim; service date and patient DOB can be shared across multiple claims and wouldn’t reliably identify the exact paid transaction. So, the ICN number is the correct and necessary reference to link the cancellation to the original payment.
