Common RARC pairings
RARCs (Remittance Advice Remark Codes) provide the specific reason detail alongside CARC 190 on the 835 electronic remittance. These are the RARCs seen most often with this CARC.
| RARC | Meaning |
|---|---|
| N106 | Payment for services furnished to Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) inpatients (except for excluded services) can only be made to the SNF. You must request payment from the SNF rather than the patient for this service. |
| N107 | Services furnished to Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) inpatients must be billed on the inpatient claim. They cannot be billed separately as outpatient services. |
| N538 | A facility is responsible for payment to outside providers who furnish these services/supplies/drugs to its patients/residents. |
