# How do I correct an institutional claim?

In medical billing, a corrected claim is a resubmission of a healthcare claim with revised information to rectify errors in the original submission, ensuring accurate details for processing by the insurance payer.

1. Navigate to the **View/Edit Claim** page by searching for the claim on the [Search](/v1/docs/search-page) page.
2. Go to the Type of Bill (TOB) field (**FL04**) and replace the **third digit** to "7".
