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 VT1

Only one Virtual Tech Code is allowed per claim - remove the extra VTC and 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.
