OA-129 Denial Code: Prior processing information incorrect

The payer believes information from prior processing (an earlier payer or earlier adjudication) is wrong — the accompanying remark code says what.

Why OA-129 happens

  • COB data from the primary payer keyed incorrectly on the secondary claim
  • Corrected claim referencing the wrong original

How to fix a OA-129 denial

How to prevent it
