N366Remark Code (RARC)Active
N366 Remark Code - Requested Information Not Provided
The N366 remark code indicates that the payer has not received the requested information necessary to process the claim. If the required information is submitted within one year from the date of the denial notice, the claim can be reopened for reconsideration.
How It Relates to the Denial
The N366 remark typically accompanies a Claim Adjustment Reason Code that indicates a denial due to lack of information. This combination signals that the claim is pending additional documentation before a final decision can be made.
Common Scenarios
1A claim for a surgical procedure was denied due to the absence of pre-authorization documentation. The remittance shows the N366 remark code.
→ In this case, the N366 remark indicates that the payer needs the pre-authorization documents to proceed with the claim. Submitting the requested information within the specified timeframe may lead to the claim being reopened.
2A lab test claim was denied because the payer requested additional clinical notes that were not submitted. The remittance includes the N366 remark code.
→ The N366 remark signifies that the payer requires the clinical notes for processing. If these notes are provided within one year, the claim can be reconsidered.
3An outpatient service claim was denied for lack of medical necessity documentation. The remittance lists the N366 remark code alongside a reason code for denial.
