MA112 Remark Code: Missing Group Practice Info

The MA112 remark code indicates that there is missing, incomplete, or invalid group practice information related to the claim. This suggests that the payer could not validate the group practice details provided in the claim submission.

How It Relates to the Denial

The MA112 remark typically accompanies an adjustment reason code that relates to issues with group practice information. The combination signals that the adjustment is directly tied to the completeness and accuracy of the group practice details submitted.

Common Scenarios

1A claim for a group practice visit was submitted, but the remittance came back with an adjustment indicating a denial due to group practice issues.
→ The MA112 remark points to the fact that the group practice information was either not provided, was incomplete, or contained errors, leading the payer to question the validity of the claim.
2A biller notices an adjustment on a claim for a multi-provider service and finds the MA112 remark listed on the remittance advice.
→ In this case, the MA112 remark indicates that the payer requires accurate group practice information to proceed, suggesting that clarification or correction is needed.
3A claim for services rendered by a group practice was submitted, but it was denied with a reason code for incomplete information, and the MA112 remark was included.
→ The presence of MA112 here indicates that the payer was unable to process the claim due to inadequate group practice details, signaling the need for review and correction.

What to Do

  1. Verify the group practice information submitted on the claim for accuracy and completeness.
  2. If information is missing, gather the necessary details and prepare to resubmit the claim with the corrected data.

What to Check

  • The claim form submitted to ensure all required group practice fields are filled out correctly.
  • Any documentation that supports the group practice information, such as contracts or registration documents.
  • The payer's guidelines for specific group practice information requirements to ensure compliance.
