Common CARC pairings
RARCs like N676 ride alongside CARCs on the 835 electronic remittance advice. These are the CARC denials RARC N676 is most often paired with.
| CARC | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 60 | Charges for outpatient services are not covered when performed within a period of time prior to or after inpatient services. |
| 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. |
| 234 | This procedure is not paid separately. 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.) |
