The following information is provided by Novitas Solutions.
Per CMS direction, Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) shall use the following CARC/RARC combination to communicate quality measure programs that use claims-based reporting. The quality incentives are based on provider reporting, not the messages received on the remittance. This message change does not affect the quality based reporting process. No provider action is necessary on claims that have already processed with a different message.
- CARC 246: “This non-payable code is for required reporting only” and,
- RARC N620: “Alert: This procedure code is for quality reporting/informational purposes only.”
