Where should claim splits be configured?

Where should claim splits be configured?

• A. In the Claim Processing F6 section on the Claims Split Options screen
• B. In the Payer Setup screen
• C. In the Claims Review Console
• D. In the System Preferences

Answer: (A)

Splits are defined during the claim generation process, so you configure them where the claims are actually built. The appropriate place is the Claims Processing area, specifically the Claims Split Options screen, which you access via the F6 key. This is the dedicated location to set rules for how a single encounter’s charges are partitioned into separate claims for submission to different payers or for different service components. Payer Setup handles payer-specific enrollment and rates, not the mechanics of how a single claim becomes multiple claims. The Claims Review Console is for examining and editing claims after they’re created, not for defining split logic. System Preferences cover broad, system-wide settings rather than per-claim splitting rules. For example, you might configure splits so professional and facility charges go to separate claims, or so certain line items route to a secondary payer according to defined criteria.
