Wondering if anyone has seen denials for BCBS when an outpatient provider is billing and E/M code with the primary diagnosis code of E66.9, obesity unspecified. I am assuming the denial 167 -DX noncovered, is the denial because the diagnosis is unspecified. I have not found denials from BCBS when the diagnosis is more specific, such as E66.1. Has anyone else had this experience?
