N292 Remark Code - Missing Service Facility Name
The N292 remark code indicates that the claim was denied due to a missing, incomplete, or invalid service facility name. This remark supplements the adjustment already described by the accompanying reason code, providing additional clarity on the nature of the denial.
How It Relates to the Denial
N292 typically accompanies adjustment reason codes that signal issues with the service facility details on a claim. The combination suggests that the payer requires accurate facility identification for proper processing and payment.
Common Scenarios
1A hospital outpatient service was billed, but the remittance indicates a denial due to missing information related to the facility where the service was provided.
→ In this case, the N292 remark points to the fact that the service facility name was either not included or was incorrectly listed, which the payer requires to process the claim.
2A physical therapy claim was submitted without a properly formatted service facility name, leading to a denial on the remittance advice.
→ Here, the N292 remark suggests that the claim cannot be processed because the facility name is either incomplete or invalid, highlighting the need for accurate facility information.
3A surgical procedure was billed with an incorrect facility name that does not match the records, resulting in a denial on the remittance.
→ The N292 remark indicates that the payer found the service facility name to be invalid, which must be corrected to proceed with the claim.
What to Do
- Verify the service facility name provided on the claim for accuracy and completeness.
- Correct any missing or invalid facility information before resubmitting the claim.
- Ensure that the facility name matches the payer's records to avoid future denials.
What to Check
- Review the claim submission to confirm the facility name was included and correctly formatted.
