Wis. ForwardHealth Online Handbook, Hospice, Topic #534
Claim Number
Each claim or adjustment request received by ForwardHealth is assigned a unique claim number (also known as the ICN (internal
control number)). However, denied real-time compound and noncompound claims are not assigned an ICN, but receive an
authorization number. Authorization numbers are not reported to the RA (Remittance Advice) or 835 (835 Health Care Claim
Payment/Advice).
Interpreting Claim Numbers
The ICN consists of 13 digits that identify valuable information (for example, the date the claim was received by ForwardHealth,
how the claim was submitted) about the claim or adjustment request.
