Common CARC pairings
RARCs like N897 ride alongside CARCs on the 835 electronic remittance advice. These are the CARC denials RARC N897 is most often paired with.
| CARC | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 163 | Attachment/other documentation referenced on the claim was not received. |
| 201 | Patient is responsible for amount of this claim/service through 'set aside arrangement' or other agreement. (Use only with Group Code PR). 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.) |
| 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). |
| 251 | The attachment/other documentation that was received was incomplete or deficient. The necessary information is still needed to process the claim. 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). |
