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

What This Code Means

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

How to Resolve or Appeal

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