Добро пожаловать, Брокеры!

Fidelis Care would like to remind our providers of a claim denial reason code that is used when COB claim resubmission requirements are not met. 

EX CODE:  50M

Short Description:  Claim resubmission requirements not met

Long Description:  COB resubmission requirements not met - missing resubmission code and/or reconsideration form

The denial reason will occur when providers do not indicate the appropriate resubmission code or do not include the reconsideration form. This denial reason code is specific to COB claims that have been resubmitted to Fidelis Care.

In order to avoid this denial, please follow the instructions below for claim corrections and reconsiderations:
