Claim/service denied because a more specific taxonomy code is required for adjudication

What Does This Code Mean?

The payer needs a more specific provider taxonomy code than what was submitted.

Common Causes

  • Generic taxonomy code used instead of the provider's specific specialty taxonomy
  • Multiple taxonomies on file and the wrong one was selected for this claim

Recommended Next Steps

  1. Confirm the correct, most specific taxonomy code for the rendering provider
  2. Correct and resubmit as a corrected claim
