How to Void or Close a Map Definition

After you add a map, it cannot be deleted.

However, you can choose to void the individual effective-dated map definition condition so that it is not considered when processing. Normally you do this when the map was entered incorrectly and has not been used to process any claims. After a map definition condition has been voided, it cannot be edited.

If a map definition should no longer be used for claims after a certain date, you can close this condition by giving it an ending date. After this date, it will no longer be considered for claims whose dates fall outside the date range for this map. Normally, this ending date should be today's date or a date in the future.

If the date you are entering in the End Date field is in the past, then claims that have been processed using this map definition may need to be adjusted. You must carefully consider all the processing steps that must be completed if you are closing a map definition retroactively.

Optionally, you can:

• View or add notes. To view or add notes for this record, on the action bar, click Notes.
• View audit details. To retrieve audit information, close any open panels and, on the action bar, click Audit Log. To view the details for a particular record, click Audit.
• Reset your entries. To clear the fields and remain on the page or panel, click Reset.
• Cancel your entries. To close the page or panel without saving your changes, click Cancel.
