277CA Claim Status Lookup Tool – STC Code & Edit Explanation

The 277CA (Claim Acknowledgment) is an electronic EDI transaction used by healthcare payers to communicate the status of submitted claims. It provides claim-level or service-level acknowledgments and includes standardized codes that describe any issues, rejections, or edits that need to be addressed. These codes appear in the STC (Status Information) segment and include a combination of Claim Status Category Codes (CSCC), Claim Status Codes (CSC), and optional Entity Identifier Codes (EIC).

Use our 277CA Claim Status Lookup tool below to quickly search and interpret these edit codes. Simply enter the CSCC and CSC values from your 277CA STC segment (EIC optional) to view clear explanations and recommended next steps for resolving the edit. This tool is designed to help providers, billers, and clearinghouses understand why a claim was rejected or accepted with warnings—and how to take action.

Eclaims - Thinking outside the box.

The 277CA Claim Status Lookup Tool supports both individual claim status code lookups and 277CA data containing one or more STC segments.

When HL hierarchy segments are included, the tool uses the available hierarchy information to organize status details by transaction, information receiver, billing provider, patient, and service line. This can provide a more structured view of the claim status information returned in the 277CA.

HL segments are optional. If only STC segments are submitted, each STC is interpreted independently without hierarchy. You can also enter the Claim Status Category Code (CSCC), Claim Status Code (CSC), and optional Entity Identifier Code (EIC) individually using the fields provided.
