The CO 24 denial code is used to indicate that the claim made has been denied due to the patient's insurance coverage under a capitation agreement or a managed care plan.
Capitation is a payment arrangement for health care service providers. It pays a set amount for each enrolled person assigned to them, per period of time, whether or not that person seeks care.
This denial means that the claim was denied because the charges are covered under a capitation agreement or managed care plan - in this case, the Medicare Advantage plan.
Denial 167 is one of the most frequently triggered Claim Adjustment Reason Codes (CARC) in healthcare billing. It indicates that the government or private insurance payer has denied the payment for the rendered services due to an uncovered diagnosis(es).
CO-167 – DIAGNOSES NOT COVERED Payors don't cover all procedures. Claims for services not covered under the insurer's policy are denied using denial code CO-167.
Denial code 167 means the diagnosis is not covered. Check the 835 Healthcare Policy Identification Segment for more information.
The CO 27 Denial Code signals that health care services were provided to a patient after the termination of their insurance policy. Digging deeper into the framework of medical billing, it's evident that services need to be rendered while a patient's insurance is still active.
