Common medical billing denial codes cause revenue delays and administrative strain. AI and automation from Jorie AI help identify, prevent, and resolve denials in real time to improve RCM performance.
Claim denials are a significant challenge in medical billing, leading to revenue loss, increased administrative workload, and delayed reimbursements. Understanding the most common denial codes and implementing effective solutions is crucial for healthcare providers aiming to optimize their revenue cycle management (RCM).
Denial reason codes are standardized codes used by payers to explain why a claim was denied. These codes help providers identify and address issues in their billing processes. Common categories include:
Understanding these codes is the first step toward effective denial management.
This code indicates that a procedure code is inconsistent with the modifier used or that a required modifier is missing.
Solution: Ensure that all procedure codes are accompanied by the correct modifiers. Regular training and updated coding resources can help prevent this error.
Denotes that the diagnosis code is inconsistent with the procedure performed.
Solution: Implement thorough coding reviews and utilize coding software that flags potential inconsistencies before claim submission.
Indicates that the required authorization number is missing or invalid.
Solution: Establish a verification process to confirm that all necessary authorizations are obtained and correctly documented before services are rendered.
This code is used when essential information is missing from the claim.
Solution: Develop a checklist for claim submissions to ensure all required information is included. Automated systems can also prompt for missing data.
Indicates that the claim duplicates a previously submitted claim.
Solution: Implement claim tracking systems to monitor submissions and prevent duplicates.
Occurs when there is a discrepancy in determining the primary payer.
Solution: Verify patient insurance information at each visit and maintain accurate records to ensure correct coordination of benefits.
Denotes that the claim was submitted after the payer's deadline.
Solution: Establish internal deadlines well ahead of payer limits and utilize automated reminders for timely submissions.
