Three percent of claims were rejected for invalid submission of ICD-9 diagnosis or procedure codes, 3 percent were rejected for invalid submission of ICD-10 diagnosis or procedure code and 13 percent were rejected due to non-ICD-10 related errors, such as incorrect health insurance claim number or submitter ID, or dates of service outside the testing range.
