Invalid Billing Provider NPI

HIPAA Claim Adjustment Reason Code: 208
    Remark Code: N257
HIPAA Healthcare Claim Status Code: 562
    Entity Identifier Code: 85

Potential Causes:
The NPI of the Billing provider did not pass the check digit validation. All valid NPIs will pass a check-digit algorithm. Because the submitted NPI did not pass this validation check, the NPI number entered is not correct.

Solution:
Check the NPI of the billing provider and re-enter the NPI of the Billing Provider correctly.
