Here is the analysis of your segment usage:
1 - SVC05 is reporting 0 paid units when there is a payment on the service. This should be reporting 1 unit (assuming that the submitted units is 1). For the lines not paying anything, SVC05 is empty, indicating one paid unit, which is not accurate. Those services should show SVC05=0, and SVC07 (submitted units) as 1.
2 - Reductions to the allowed amount seem to be reported using CAS*OA*A2... when it should be CAS*CO*45...
3 - Since there is a payment on many lines, lines with a payment should be reporting an AMT*B6... with the allowed amount.
4 - The alternate benefit represents the bundling of the 4th, 5th and 6th services into the alternate code, and is accurately identifying the adjudicated code and submitted code and directly related adjustments (except as identified in #2).
5 - Since no lines were actuallu not covered, the Coverage Amount should be 345.
The segments should look like:
DTM*232*20121219
AMT*AU*345
SVC*AD:D0120*60*25
CAS*CO*45*35
SVC*AD:D1120*70*44
CAS*CO*45*26
SVC*AD:D1203*40*27**0
CAS*CO*45*13
SVC*AD:D0210*30*75***AD:D0220
CAS*CO*45*100
CAS*OA*94*-145
SVC*AD:D0210*25*0**0*AD:D0230*1
CAS*CO*97*25
SVC*AD:D0210*120*0**0*AD:D0330*1
