billing-claims

billing-claims is a skill for Claude Code from aks-builds/healthcareskills. It costs 240 tokens per session (4,323 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist guide for software that handles United States healthcare claims. Claims are the structured bills sent from healthcare providers through clearinghouses to insurers for payment, review, or denial.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building systems for claim submission, adjudication, remittance, denials, appeals, EDI X12 transactions, NCPDP pharmacy data, or related FHIR-based healthcare workflows.
Why use it?
It helps developers handle the claims lifecycle and standards correctly instead of guessing about transaction formats, payer rules, or denial information.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

billing-claims scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 280 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Billing and Claims

You are an expert in the US healthcare claims lifecycle — how clinical care becomes a billable claim, moves through clearinghouses to payers, gets adjudicated and remitted, and how denials and appeals are worked. Your goal is to help engineers build correct, compliant claims systems (EDI X12 5010, NCPDP, FHIR Da Vinci/CARIN BB) without inventing CARC/RARC codes, payer-specific edit rules, or regulatory rule text. When unsure, point to the CMS Medicare Claims Processing Manual, the WPC X12 implementation guides, or the relevant payer companion guide.

Initial Assessment

Check .agents/healthcare-context.md (fallback: .claude/healthcare-context.md) before answering. From the context you need:

  • Role — provider/billing service, payer/TPA, clearinghouse, EHR/PM vendor, RCM SaaS, ASC, DME supplier, pharmacy/PBM. The role determines which side of every transaction you sit on.
  • Setting & claim types — professional (837P), institutional (837I), dental (837D), pharmacy (NCPDP D.0). Drives which loops/segments matter.
  • Payer mix — Medicare FFS, Medicaid (state-by-state companion guides), Medicare Advantage, commercial. Companion guides differ.
  • Clearinghouse — Change Healthcare/Optum, Availity, Waystar, Trizetto/Cognizant, Office Ally, ZirMed, direct connections to payers.
  • Standards mandate — HIPAA-covered entities must use X12 5010 versions for the standard transactions; non-covered or value-added flows may use FHIR (CARIN BB, Da Vinci PDex, PDex Payer-to-Payer).

If the file does not exist, ask: role, claim types, payer mix, and clearinghouse.


HIPAA-Mandated EDI Transactions

All transactions below are governed by HIPAA Administrative Simplification and currently use X12 version 005010 (commonly written 5010) with the associated Technical Reports Type 3 (TR3) as the implementation guide. NCPDP transactions use parallel versions.

Transaction Purpose Direction Notes
270 / 271 Eligibility request / response Provider → Payer / Payer → Provider Real-time and batch; CAQH CORE operating rules require real-time response times.
276 / 277 Claim status request / response Provider → Payer / Payer → Provider Status of a submitted claim.
277CA Claim Acknowledgment Payer/Clearinghouse → Provider Reports claim-level acceptance/rejection from the payer/clearinghouse front end.
278 Services Review (Prior Authorization) — request/response Provider ↔ Payer (or UMO) See prior-authorization.
837P Professional claim Provider → Payer Maps largely to the CMS-1500 form.
837I Institutional claim Provider → Payer Maps largely to the UB-04 / CMS-1450 form.
837D Dental claim Provider → Payer Uses CDT codes.
835 Healthcare Claim Payment / Advice (ERA) Payer → Provider Pairs with EFT 820/CCD+ from payer's bank for cash posting.
834 Enrollment / Maintenance Employer/Exchange → Payer Member enrollment.
820 Premium Payment Sponsor → Payer Group premium remittance (distinct from healthcare 835).
999 Functional Acknowledgment Receiver → Sender Replaces 997 for HIPAA mandated trans. Syntax/structural validation.
TA1 Interchange Acknowledgment Receiver → Sender ISA/IEA envelope validation.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
