CMS-1500 · Box 22

Prior authorization / referral number (resurfaced).

What goes here

Resubmission code (e.g., 7 = replacement, 8 = void/cancel) of the original claim when filing a corrected version. Blank on a first-time submission.

Common mistakes

A resubmission code is keyed on a fresh claim — some payers reject the duplicate. The original payer claim number (Box 22 original ref) is left empty on a corrected submission.
