CO-22Contractual Adjustment
Another payer is primary
What this code means
The insurer says a different insurance plan should pay this claim first. Your health plan considers itself secondary.
What to do next
Verify your coordination of benefits. If the other insurer has already paid or denied, submit that explanation of benefits with a new claim to your secondary insurer. If the coordination is wrong, contact your insurer to correct it.
