CO-150 — Documentation doesn’t support this level of service
Claim-adjustment reason code 150 · typically reported as CO-150
What it means
The payer reviewed documentation and concluded it supports a lesser item/level than billed.
Why DME claims hit it
- Group 2 power wheelchair billed where documentation supports Group 1
- Deluxe/upgrade features without justification for the upgrade
How to fix it
- Compare documentation to the billed item’s specific criteria vs. the lower-level item
- Either appeal with stronger clinical evidence or rebill at the supported level (consider GA/GK upgrade-modifier flows prospectively)
Appeal posture
Yes, when the record genuinely supports the billed level.
