CO-222 and N640
TXBiller:
I need assistance in figuring out what the below is telling me. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.
222: Exceeds the contracted maximum number of hours/days/units by this provider for this period. This is not patient specific. NOTE: Refer to the 835 Healthcare Policy Identification Segment (Loop 2110 Service Payment Information REF), if present.
N640: Exceeds number/frequency approved/allowed within time period.

kristin:
The answer is sort of right there in the denial codes. The services being billed have exceeded the amount allowed in a give time frame.
The provider has already billed a new patient E/M on this particular patient within the last 3 years, so cannot bill another one, and the provider or another provider has already billed a depression screening for this patient in the last 12 months. Medicare only allows one depression screening every 12 months for a patient.
