N63 Remark Code - Rebill Services on Separate Claim Lines
RARC N63 indicates that the services billed should be rebilled on separate claim lines. This remark supplements an adjustment already provided by a Claim Adjustment Reason Code, clarifying that the services are not appropriately grouped for processing.
How It Relates to the Denial
RARC N63 typically accompanies adjustment reason codes that indicate a need for correction or resubmission of claims. The presence of this remark signals that the payer expects the services to be itemized separately to facilitate accurate processing and payment.
Common Scenarios
1A provider submits a claim for a surgical procedure and related post-operative care bundled together. The remittance advice returns an adjustment indicating the need for separate billing.
→ In this case, RARC N63 points out that the services should be rebilled individually, likely because they were not compliant with the payer's requirements for service categorization.
2A hospital submits a claim for a patient’s multiple lab tests under one line item. The remittance shows an adjustment reason indicating that separate lines are required for lab services.
→ RARC N63 clarifies that the lab tests need to be rebilled on distinct claim lines to meet the payer's submission standards.
3A physical therapist bills for multiple therapy sessions combined into a single claim line. The remittance advises a denial with a reason code suggesting a rebill is necessary.
→ Here, RARC N63 indicates that the therapy sessions must be rebilled on separate lines to ensure proper processing and adherence to billing guidelines.
