Why was my claim rejected?

Last updated on Sep 19, 2026

Rejections come back from the scheme with a reason code, and that code tells us what to fix. Open the invoice, look at the Claim panel and read the scheme response.

The most common causes

Scheme message What it usually means What to do
Member not found / dependant invalid Member number or dependant code does not match the scheme Check the card and re-enter; confirm the option code
Diagnosis not covered / ICD-10 invalid The ICD-10 code is not accepted for that tariff or benefit Correct the code (check the PMB list if relevant) and resubmit
Benefits exhausted The member's day-to-day benefit is depleted Invoice the patient for the balance
Duplicate claim Same tariff, same date already claimed Do not resubmit; check the earlier claim
Practice not registered with scheme The BHF number is not on the scheme's file Contact the scheme; we can help with the letter

Resubmitting

Correct the invoice and click Resubmit claim. The new claim switches in real time and the response appears within seconds.
