Common CARC pairings
RARCs like N372 ride alongside CARCs on the 835 electronic remittance advice. These are the CARC denials RARC N372 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. |
| 96 | Non-covered charge(s). 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.) Usage: Refer to the 835 Healthcare Policy Identification Segment (loop 2110 Service Payment Information REF), if present. |
| 108 | Rent/purchase guidelines were not met. Usage: Refer to the 835 Healthcare Policy Identification Segment (loop 2110 Service Payment Information REF), if present. |
