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 |
| 4 Modifier does not fit the code | The procedure code does not agree with the modifier billed, or a required modifier is missing. | Fix the modifier and send a corrected claim. | 7 | $819.50 |
| 16 Missing or invalid information | The claim is missing information or has a billing error. A remark code usually says which field. | Read the remark code, fix the field it names, and resubmit. | 4 | $428.18 |
| 50 Not medically necessary | The payer decided the service was not medically necessary. | Appeal with the visit note and any supporting records. | 2 | $237.00 |
| 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 |
| 96 Non-covered charge | The service is not covered. A remark code usually says why. | Bill the patient only if they signed a waiver or the plan allows it; otherwise write off. | 1 | $118.00 |
| 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 |
