Rejection Details

Kareo Validation Error

This rejection indicates a description for a NOC (Not Otherwise Classified) code is missing.

Claims billed without a description for a NOC code will reject at the clearinghouse; therefore Kareo has held the claim until the error has been corrected. You must correct the error and resubmit the claims in order for them to be delivered to the payer.
 
Note: Since claims rejected within Kareo are not forwarded to the clearinghouse you will be unable to generate timely filing for that submission until validation errors have been corrected and the claim resubmitted.
