Common CARC pairings
RARCs like N501 ride alongside CARCs on the 835 electronic remittance advice. These are the CARC denials RARC N501 is most often paired with.
| CARC | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 163 | Attachment/other documentation referenced on the claim was not received. |
| 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). |
| 252 | An attachment/other documentation is required to adjudicate this claim/service. 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). |
