N880 Remark Code - Claim Closed Due to Data Changes
The N880 remark code indicates that the original claim has been closed because changes were made to the submitted data. As a result, the adjustment claim will be processed under a new claim number, which is essential for tracking the payment accurately.
How It Relates to the Denial
The N880 remark code typically accompanies a Claim Adjustment Reason Code that reflects a denial or adjustment based on data discrepancies. Together, they signal that the original claim's data required correction, necessitating the creation of a new claim for processing.
Common Scenarios
1A provider submitted a claim for a surgery, but the payer returned a denial stating there were discrepancies in the billed services. The remittance includes the N880 remark code.
→ In this case, the N880 code clarifies that the original claim was closed due to the changes in the submitted data, and the provider should expect the adjustment to be processed under a new claim number.
2An office visit claim was initially denied due to an incorrect diagnosis code. Upon resubmission with the correct code, the remittance shows the N880 remark code.
→ Here, the N880 remark indicates that the claim was closed because of the corrected diagnosis data, and the adjustment will be handled with a new claim number.
3A patient’s claim for lab tests was denied because the submitted information was incorrect. The remittance includes the N880 remark alongside a reason code.
→ The N880 code signifies that the payer closed the original claim due to the data changes, and the adjustment will now be processed under a new claim number.
