Common CARC pairings
RARCs like N567 ride alongside CARCs on the 835 electronic remittance advice. These are the CARC denials RARC N567 is most often paired with.
| CARC | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 49 | This is a non-covered service because it is a routine/preventive exam or a diagnostic/screening procedure done in conjunction with a routine/preventive exam. 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. |
| 204 | This service/equipment/drug is not covered under the patient's current benefit plan. |
