This code appears on your Claims Error Report (downloaded through MCEDT). It means the claim was rejected at submission and was never adjudicated for payment — fix the issue below and resubmit the claim.
How to fix V41
Enter the fee as 6 digits within the $0000.00-$5000.00 range, then resubmit.
These codes relate to the fee schedule code, diagnosis code, fee amount, or service limits in the Schedule of Benefits. The fix usually starts with re-reading the code's payment rules — effective dates, age/sex limits, maximums, and combinations — for the date of service.
