That's pretty much what I have. Here is a short list of ANSI (denial reason codes) with their truncated descriptions and our Laymen terms.
5 Proc Code/TOB Inconsistent W/P OP ICD-9 procedure listed on IP acct 13 Date of Death Preceeds Date of Wrong discharge date entered 16 Claim lacks info for Adjudicat Ins request info from provider or patient 22 Pmt Adj/May be cov by other pa Primary insurance not listed 24 Pmt Adj/Chgs cov by Capitation Charges included in contract rate Right now I'm using Select Case to say if X=22 then y=Primary insurance not listed etc... The problem is once I get a substantial list set up I don't want a Select Case function with 200 different cases. It would work, but seems like such a pain to set up. I've thought about another detestation but I've already got three going. As I run the reports and find ANSI codes I want to substitute the laymen description instead of the ANSI description for the final output. Thanks. p.s. do you remember the name of that example on the BWS website?

Greetings, I take it this is a situation where you have: If val=x then b="Q" If val=z then b="P" And there's lots of them then your lookup file is good approach and there's an example to do that on our website. But would need some details about what you're doing to suggest a "best" approach. Regards, Thom Thom C.

Anyone know if there is a better solution than Select Case? I thought about using an answer file and looping for my If:then statements but am not sure which would be better of there is an even better solution than either the Case or answer files. Thanks.
