• Payment dates that fall on weekends or holidays will be shifted to the following business day.

• Claim Status in CNP must show as “ACCEPTED” in order to be paid. If the Claim Status shows as “Pending” or “Error”, the claim has not been submitted for payment. Return to CNP to access the claim to resolve errors or complete the certification step required to submit the claim.
