1. The health insurer deems the information submitted by a provider does not support the level of service billed.
2. The procedure code is inconsistent with the modifier used or a required modifier is missing.
3. The diagnosis is invalid for the date or dates of service documented.
4. The diagnosis is inconsistent with the procedure.
5. The diagnosis was not covered.
