Load errors citing a file structure mismatch refer to which remittance file structure?

• A. 810
• B. 824
• C. 835
• D. 870

Answer: (C)

Load errors about a file structure mismatch point to the format used for remittance advice. The standard remittance file structure is the 835. It defines how payments, adjustments, and patient responsibilities are sent, with the expected segments and layout. If the incoming file isn’t in that 835 format—say it’s actually an 810 invoice, an 824 application advice, or some other transaction—the system will flag a structure mismatch because the segments and order don’t align with 835. The other options refer to different EDI transaction sets: 810 is an invoice, 824 is application advice about changes to other transactions, and 870 relates to order status.
