Denial code 167 means the diagnosis is not covered. Check the 835 Healthcare Policy Identification Segment for more information.
The denial code 227 is triggered when requested information from the patient, or the insured/responsible party is incomplete or not provided.

CO 129 Payment denied – prior processing information incorrect. Void/replacement error. CO 135 No discharge date permitted for interim claims. CO 151 All dates of service on claim must be within same calendar month, except discharge date can be 1st day of following month.
Denial Code CO 273 signals that the claim exceeds the coverage limits set by a patient's insurance plan. The “CO” stands for Contractual Obligation, meaning the unpaid claim amount is a matter to be resolved between the payer and provider, not the patient.
Denial code 273 is when the healthcare provider exceeded the coverage or program guidelines, resulting in the claim being denied.
This denial code indicates that the necessary supporting documentation or information was not included with the claim, leading to its denial.
