Hello,
we just received a denial from blue cross that said:

We are unable to process the claim:
203 diagnosis codes must be entered in alphabetical order a-l
019 invalid diagnosis code pointer

has anyone else had this type of an issue?
Thank you!
 
It looks like they referring to box 24E with the dx pointers not being in alphabetical order. Not that the first letter of DX codes need to be in alphabetical order.
