Payer deems the information submitted does not support this day's supply

What This Code Means

Common Causes

  • Days-supply field doesn't match the prescribed quantity/frequency
  • Refill billed too early relative to the prior fill

How to Resolve or Appeal

  1. Verify the days-supply calculation against the prescription
  2. Correct and resubmit if it was a data entry error
