diagnosis code 999.0 is this a valid code?

Question

i have a claim that denied for that diag code

Answer 1

I looked this code up in my ICD-9 book and it is a valid code. Be aware though, for some reason these codes seem to change every year. We have to get a new code book every year. I would call the insurance company and ask them what code they are using for the diagnosis that you were given. Then call the doctor's office and ask them to re-submit the claim with the new code.

Answer 2

Call the doctors office and find out what it is. Not all codes on every ones doctors receipts are the same. Or call the insurance company and ask a claims Representative.
