Common CARC pairings
RARCs like N206 ride alongside CARCs on the 835 electronic remittance advice. These are the CARC denials RARC N206 is most often paired with.
| CARC | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 50 | These are non-covered services because this is not deemed a 'medical necessity' by the payer. Usage: Refer to the 835 Healthcare Policy Identification Segment (loop 2110 Service Payment Information REF), if present. |
| 151 | Payment adjusted because the payer deems the information submitted does not support this many/frequency of services. |
| 250 | The attachment/other documentation that was received was the incorrect attachment/document. The expected attachment/document is still missing. At least one Remark Code must be provided (may be comprised of either the NCPDP Reject Reason Code, or Remittance Advice Remark Code that is not an ALERT). |
