What Does This Code Mean?

Payment adjusted because pre-certification/authorization not received in a timely fashion

Common Causes

  • Claim resubmitted before the original finished processing
  • Claim held internally past the payer's filing deadline

Recommended Next Steps

  1. Check the original claim's status before resubmitting
  2. If a genuine duplicate, no further action is needed
  3. If filed late, gather proof of timely submission and file a timely-filing appeal
