N95: This provider type/provider specialty may not bill this service

The payer's rules restrict which provider types can bill this particular code, and the rendering or billing provider's enrolled specialty does not match what is required.

Corrective actions

  1. 1

    Confirm the rendering provider's enrolled specialty

    Check the provider's enrollment record with the payer to see which specialty and taxonomy code is on file, since it may not match the actual service rendered.

  2. 2

    Rebill under the correct provider if applicable

    If a different provider on the claim (such as a supervising physician) is properly enrolled to bill the service, correct the rendering provider information and resubmit.
