Recommended correction path

Suggested resolution

Current, retired, and not-yet-effective are different

StatusMeaningCorrect response
Effective on the record dateThe code may be used if it also describes the service accurately.Check for wrong field placement or an incorrect Plan Effective Start Date.
Retired before the record dateThe value once existed but is no longer accepted for that date.Use the valid successor only if it truthfully represents the documented service.
Effective after the record dateThe code was introduced later.Use the code valid at the time; do not rewrite history with a newer value.

Do not automatically replace every retired code with today’s code. Historical SERV records must use the value valid for their effective date and supported by the operative plan.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Identify code and controlling date

    Capture the rejected field, value, and 25.17 Plan Effective Start Date.

  2. 2

    Check the code’s date range

    Determine whether it is retired, premature, or valid on that date.

  3. 3

    Verify the plan history

    Confirm which service terminology and effective date the approved plan actually supports.

  4. 4

    Correct code, date, or mapping

    Change only the element proven inaccurate; do not move a date merely to make a code pass.

  5. 5

    Audit the retired mapping

    Check all SERV records produced from the same local code.
