N202Remark Code (RARC)ActiveInformational Alert
N202 Remark Code - Additional Information Alert
The N202 remark code indicates that additional information or explanations related to the claim will be provided separately. This alert is purely informational and does not accompany a specific adjustment or denial.
What This Alert Tells You
The N202 remark is typically seen alongside other remittance advice codes but does not directly correlate with a financial adjustment. It serves to inform the provider that further details will follow separately, enhancing the clarity of the remittance process.
Common Scenarios
1A provider submits a claim for a series of diagnostic tests, and upon processing, they receive the remittance advice that includes the N202 remark code.
→ In this case, the N202 indicates that while the initial remittance does not resolve all details, the payer will send more information regarding the claim later.
2A facility bills for a surgical procedure, and the remittance advice returns with the N202 code included among other informational remarks.
→ This suggests that although the claim was processed, the provider should expect further documentation or clarification from the payer on this claim.
3An outpatient clinic receives a remittance for a recent visit, showing the N202 remark code without any payment adjustments.
→ This informs the clinic that additional information regarding the claim will be sent in a separate communication, ensuring they are aware of pending details.
What to Do
- Do not take any action based on the N202 remark code alone, as it does not indicate a payment adjustment or denial.
- Monitor for further communication from the payer that may provide additional insights or explanations regarding the claim.
What to Check
- Review the remittance advice for any accompanying codes that might indicate what additional information will be provided.
- Check for any follow-up documentation from the payer that references the claim associated with the N202 remark.
- Keep an eye on future remittances for updates related to this alert, as the needed information may arrive separately.
