Common RARC pairings

| RARC | Meaning |
|---|---|
| N10 | Adjustment based on the findings of a review organization/professional consult/manual adjudication/medical advisor/dental advisor/peer review. |
| N409 | This service is related to an accidental injury and is not covered unless provided within a specific time frame from the date of the accident. |
