1 Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA/835) Provider Guide Version Date: September 22, 2015 This document is a tool for understanding Martin s Point Generations Advantage and US Family Health Plan Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA/835 files). It maps industry standard remittance codes to the corresponding descriptions that appear on our 835 files. To search for a specific code, press your CTRL and F keys at the same time and type the code it into the Find box. Definitions: Claim Adjustment Reason Code (CARC): CARCs communicate an adjustment the reason why a claim or service line was paid differently than it was billed. If there is no adjustment to a claim/line, then there is no adjustment reason code. Not all CARCS have a corresponding RARC. In these situations, the CARC supplies sufficient information about the claim adjustment we have made. Remit Advice Reason Code (RARC): RARCs provide additional explanation for an adjustment already described by a CARC and may convey information about remittance processing. There are two types of RARCs, supplemental and informational. The majority of the RARCs are supplemental; these are generally referred to as RARCs without further distinction. Supplemental RARCs provide additional explanation for an adjustment already described by a CARC. The second type of RARC is informational; these RARCs are all prefaced with Alert: and are often referred to as Alerts. Alerts are used to convey information about remittance processing and are never related to a specific adjustment or CARC. Martin s Point Rule Description: This column provides further information that corresponds to specific CARCS and pertains to our payment policies and rules. Our claims editing processes are closely aligned with correct coding and billing criteria established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). There are some exceptions, usually based on our health plan benefit design. For example, our members have access to important preventive services such as annual physicals and eye exams at $0 copay. But overall, we adhere closely to Medicare claim editing practices. We also apply Medicare Local Coverage Determination (LCD) rules to claims for services rendered to Generations Advantage members in Maine and New Hampshire. (LCD rules do not apply to USFHP claims.) LCD rules can be found on the local carrier s website or by contacting them directly. Following are the local carriers for Maine and New Hampshire: o Medicare Parts A & B: National Government Services, Inc. o Durable Medical Equipment (DME): NHIC, Corp. If you receive a claim denial and, upon research and review of the documentation, you feel a corrected claim is in order, you may submit a corrected claim with the appropriate additional Before doing so, please review our electronic corrected claim guidelines at providers/claims. Electronic submission will speed processing time. Please be sure to include the claim number and the patient control number from the original claim to help ensure efficient reprocessing.
