Every reason, with the usual fix
| Payer reason code | What it means | Usual fix | Claims | At stake |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 197 Prior authorization missing | Authorization or notification was required and not on file. | If authorization was obtained, appeal with the number. If not, write off; it cannot be billed to the patient. | 5 | $1,326.00 |
| 27 After coverage ended | The service date is after the patient coverage ended. | Verify eligibility for the service date and bill the plan that covered it. The patient can be billed only when the payer sends it as patient responsibility (group PR). | 1 | $153.40 |
| 18 Exact duplicate | The payer already received this exact claim or service. | Confirm the original claim was paid. If it was, no action is needed. | 1 | $153.40 |
| 97 Bundled into another service | Payment for this service is included in another service on the same day. | If the service was separate and distinct, add the right modifier and send a corrected claim. | 1 | $84.50 |
