N694 Remark Code - Claim Reversal Alert
The N694 remark code indicates that a reversal has occurred because the provider has resubmitted or changed the claim. This alert serves to inform the biller about the reason behind the reversal without indicating any adjustment or denial of payment.
What This Alert Tells You
The N694 alert is informational and does not accompany any specific adjustment or reason code. It simply communicates that the claim has been reversed due to the provider's action of resubmitting or modifying it.
Common Scenarios
1A provider submits a claim for a surgical procedure, then decides to correct the billed amount and resubmits the claim for processing.
→ The N694 remark indicates that the original claim was reversed because the provider made changes or resubmitted the claim, reflecting the updated information.
2After initially billing for a diagnostic test, the provider realizes an error in the coding and resubmits the corrected claim.
→ The presence of the N694 remark informs the biller that the claim reversal corresponds to the provider's resubmission, not a denial or adjustment issue.
3A claim for a routine office visit is reversed after the provider updates the details of the visit and submits a new claim with the correct information.
