Error IU
Medium UrgencyInvalid Tray Fee
A tray fee was billed for a service performed in a hospital or other ministry-funded facility.
Official Description: Tray fee not applicable when service per formed in a ministry funded facility.
How to Fix It
Follow these steps in order to resolve the error.
- Verify the 'Facility Number' and 'Location of Service' on the claim. Tray fees (e.g., 00099) are only payable for procedures performed in a private physician's office.
- If the service was performed in a hospital (in-patient, out-patient, ER) or another ministry-funded centre, the facility provides the supplies. You cannot bill a tray fee.
- To fix the claim, remove the tray fee item and resubmit the claim with only the applicable service fees.
- If the service was performed in a private office, ensure the Facility Number on the claim is '0000' and resubmit. An incorrect facility number is the most common cause of this rejection.
- If you have confirmed the service was in a private office and the claim continues to be rejected, contact the Teleplan Data Centre at 604-683-7151 to investigate the discrepancy.
