N380 Remark Code - Submit a Corrected Claim
The N380 remark code indicates that the original claim has been processed, and the biller should submit a corrected claim. This remark typically follows an adjustment reason code that suggests there was an issue with the initial claim submission, prompting the need for correction.
How It Relates to the Denial
The N380 remark code usually accompanies adjustment reason codes that denote a denial or an issue with the original claim. Together, they signal that the payer has completed processing the claim and requires a resubmission with corrections.
Common Scenarios
1A provider submitted a claim for a procedure but received a denial indicating a missing modifier. The remittance includes an adjustment reason code for the denial along with the N380 remark code.
→ In this case, the N380 remark informs the biller that the claim was processed, and a corrected claim must be submitted with the appropriate modifier added.
2A claim for a diagnostic test was submitted but returned with an adjustment reason code related to incorrect patient information. The remittance also shows the N380 remark code.
→ Here, the N380 remark is directing the biller to correct the patient information and resubmit the claim since the original claim has already been processed.
3A claim for a consultation service was denied due to lack of authorization. The remittance includes an adjustment reason code for the denial and the N380 remark code.
→ The N380 remark indicates that the claim has been processed, and the biller must correct the authorization issue and submit a new claim.
