Can anyone give me a clue as to what this claim adjustment reason means? The payer is out of network for our providers, if that helps any:

#107 The related or qualifying claim/service was not identified on this claim. Note: Refer to the 835 Healthcare Policy Identification Segment (loop 2110 Service Payment Information REF), if present.

:confused:

Looks to primarily be add-on code missing the code its used with

Common Reasons for Message
• Primary CPT has not been billed
• Primary CPT was not billed on same claim

Next Step
• View claim history to determine if primary CPT was billed ◦ If not, add-on code cannot be billed
◦ If so, review medical documentation to determine if secondary code can be billed

• Submit claim for primary CPT
• Submit Appeal request. See Appeals webpage for instructions on how to submit a Reopening or Redetermination

Claim Submission Tips
• Verify primary CPT was billed prior to billing add-on code


PS. I just put the full wording of the denial in google and the above link was the first one on the list

sincerely,

Thank you so much for your reply. In this case, there was no add-on code used. Just a toe amputation and adjacent tissue transfer. 14040 and 28825 51,TA.

Maybe missing modifier 59 on the secondary procedure? Of course I would not expect that to be the denial reason for that. Of course no NCCI edit that I can see.
