Before remittance payments can be posted to accounts, which two steps must occur?

Processing and acceptance are the two steps needed before posting remittance payments. Processing runs the remittance data through the system to apply payments to the correct claims, map adjustments, and verify dollar amounts, ensuring everything aligns with the payer’s remit. Acceptance means the remittance data has cleared validation and is confirmed as ready to use, so the payments can be posted to patient accounts without errors. Loading the file is a separate ingestion step, but posting hinges on having the data both processed and accepted to ensure accuracy and prevent mis-posting.
