Appearance
Remittance Detail View
The Remittance Detail View provides a clearinghouse-style, human-readable rendering of 835 Health Care Claim Payment/Advice files. Every segment is decoded into plain-language labels with full code descriptions — no EDI knowledge required.
Overview
When you receive an 835 remittance file, the raw EDI is dense and hard to read. The Remittance Detail View translates the entire file into a structured document that anyone on your team can understand — from billing staff to office managers.

How it's different from the Payment Summary Report
The Payment Summary Report is an accounting-focused table of claims, payments, and totals. The Remittance Detail View is a full element-level decode — it shows every field in the BPR, TRN, payer/payee addresses, bank routing details, and per-claim data with human-readable labels. Think of it as the EDI equivalent of an EOB statement.
How to Access
- Upload an 835 file at app.edipaisan.com
- Click the Export dropdown in the toolbar

- The modal opens with a loading spinner while the file is processed
- Once loaded, scroll through the full decoded report
What's Included
The report is organized into clearly labeled sections, each corresponding to a portion of the 835 transaction.
General Information (BPR)
The BPR segment is decoded into readable financial details:
General Information
Transaction Handling Code: Remittance Information Only
Monetary Amount: $425,388.99
Credit/Debit Flag Code: Credit
Payment Method Code: Automated Clearing House (ACH)
Payment Format Code: Cash Concentration/Disbursement plus Addenda (CCD+)
(DFI) ID Number Qualifier: ABA Transit Routing Number Including Check Digits (9 digits)
(DFI) Identification Number: 211070175
Account Number Qualifier: Demand Deposit
Account Number: 1133204365
Date: 01/20/2026Every code is translated — ACH becomes "Automated Clearing House (ACH)", DA becomes "Demand Deposit", etc.
Trace Information (TRN)
Check/EFT trace details for payment matching:
Trace
Trace Type Code: Current Transaction Trace Numbers
Reference Identification: 7287000

32 Hazeltine Street
Providence, RI 02900
Reference Information:
Federal Taxpayer's Identification Number: 205054049Claim Level Data (CLP)
Each claim is rendered as a card with full details:
- Claim ID and payer control number
- Status with human-readable description (e.g., "1 - Processed as Primary")
- Billed, Paid, and Patient Responsibility amounts
- Patient name and member ID
- Statement dates
Claim Adjustments (CAS)
Adjustment codes are fully decoded:
| Group | Reason Code | Description | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| CO (Contractual Obligations) | 45 | Charge exceeds fee schedule/maximum allowable | $150.00 |
| PR (Patient Responsibility) | 1 | Deductible amount | $75.00 |
| OA (Other Adjustments) | 94 | Processed in excess of charges | -$200.00 |
Negative amounts (like OA-94) are displayed clearly — this is how payers add money back, which can cause the paid amount to exceed the billed amount.
Service Lines (SVC)
Per-service payment detail with procedure codes:
Line 1
Procedure Code: 99213
Line Charge Amount: $150.00
Line Payment Amount: $120.00
Units Paid: 1
CO-45 Charge exceeds fee schedule: $30.00Provider-Level Adjustments (PLB)
If the 835 includes provider-level balance transfers (interest, recoupments, etc.), they appear at the bottom of the report.
Multi-Transaction Files
If the 835 contains multiple ST/SE envelopes (multiple checks), each transaction renders as a separate section with its own header, claims, and totals. A clear separator divides each transaction.

Large File Handling
For files with many claims, EDI Paisan shows a loading spinner while processing. The modal opens immediately so you know the system is working. Processing time depends on file size:
| Claims | Typical Load Time |
|---|---|
| 1-50 | Instant |
| 50-500 | 1-3 seconds |
| 500+ | 3-10 seconds |
All claims render fully — there is no pagination or truncation.

Example: Spotting Anomalies
The detail view makes it easy to spot unusual patterns. For example, if a claim's paid amount exceeds the billed amount, you'll see:
Claim Level Data:
Total Charge Amount: $150.00
Claim Payment Amount: $300.00
Claim Adjustments:
CO (Contractual Obligations) | 45 | Charge exceeds fee schedule | $50.00
OA (Other Adjustments) | 94 | Processed in excess of charges | -$200.00The negative OA-94 adjustment is the culprit — the payer is paying $200 in excess of charges. This can happen with prompt-pay interest, retroactive fee schedule corrections, or payer system errors.
