What N65 means

The payer could not price the line because the procedure code or rate is not on its file for that date or provider.

N65 is a pricing problem. The payer recognized the claim but had no rate loaded for this code for your provider type or contract on that date, or could not work out the count used to price it.

It often comes with a reason code saying the payment cannot be determined. Many of these resolve once the payer updates its fee schedule or contract load.

Common causes

• The service is new and the payer has not loaded a rate for it yet.
• Your contract does not include a rate for this code or for this provider type.
• Units or rate counts on the claim do not fit how the payer prices the code.

What to do next

1. Check whether the code has a rate in your contract fee schedule for the date of service.
2. Contact provider relations to ask that the rate be loaded or confirmed.
3. Request reprocessing once the payer confirms the rate is on file.
4. Correct the units if the count billed does not match how the code is defined.
