HCPCS code is not valid for the date on which the services were provided.
Covered charges for the line item being edited are greater than zero.
HCPCS table file contains at least one revenue code for the HCPCS being edited.

Note: for an 18x type of bill (TOB) with a "Y" in the 'PPS' indicator (hospital swing-bed prospective payment system (PPS) skilled nursing facility (SNF) claims), the HCPCS file must have 0022 as an allowable revenue code and the 0022 covered charges must not be greater than zero.
If the revenue code on the line item being edited does not match one of the allowable revenue codes for the HCPCS, the error is assigned.
