What it means
Code 46 means the claim was paid after a second review by a Ministry medical advisor (MA).
This usually follows an inquiry or a request for reconsideration. It is informational.
How to fix it
- Check the amount paid against what you asked for in the review.
- If the amount is still not what you expected, contact the Ministry about the review outcome.
Don't resubmit if
- The claim was paid. Sending it again would be a duplicate.
