Details
Claim Adjustment Reason Codes:
X12 External Code Source 139
These codes describe why a claim or service line was paid differently than it was billed and generally assign responsibility for the adjustment amounts.
The Claim Adjustment Group Codes are internal to the X12 standard. The format is always two alpha characters:
CO: Contractual Obligations
CR: Corrections and Reversals
OA: Other Adjustments
PI: Payer Initiated Reductions
PR: Patient Responsibility
Remittance Advice Remark Codes:
X12 External Code Source 411
Remittance Advice Remark Codes (RARCs) are used to provide additional explanation for an adjustment already described by a Claim Adjustment Reason Code (CARC) or to convey information about remittance processing.
There are two types of RARCs: Supplemental and Informational:
The majority of RARCs are supplemental and, as such, are generally referred to as RARCs without further distinction. Supplemental RARCs provide additional explanation for an adjustment already described by a CARC.
The second type is informational; these are all prefaced with Alert:
and are referred to as Alerts. They are used to convey information about
remittance processing and are never related to a specific adjustment or
CARC.
