Where are Errors defined?

Errors are defined in the CDF because it contains the official error codes, descriptions, and the edit rules the billing system uses to flag problems during claim processing. When a claim comes in, the system checks it against the definitions in the CDF; if a rule is violated—like a missing required field or an invalid payer—the corresponding error code is generated from the CDF. Other documents, such as the Billing Manual, Master File, or User Guide, describe procedures, data storage, or how to use the software, but they do not define the actual error conditions the system enforces.
