While some practices have been entering a unique line item control number for each line of service for each patient, it will now be required in 5010. In addition, payers are required to return the line item control number in the electronic remittance advice (ERA) transaction when the provider includes it in the original electronic claim or when they have split the claim or line item. This change is helpful because receiving the unique line item control number within the ERA gives you the capability to automatically post by service line.
