When it comes to payment denials, some of the most common and potentially damaging involve Claim Adjustment Reason Code (CARC) 22, or order-of-insurance coverage problems. CARC 22 denials reduce cash flow, trigger unnecessary patient invoicing, and may undermine customer goodwill and harm the hospital’s overall patient experience and brand.
Medicare recently finalized a plan that will require hospitals to obtain prior authorization before performing certain outpatient procedures. Understanding these changes will be critical to avoid unnecessary denials beginning on July 1, 2020.
