N758 Remark Code - Adjusted Based on Prior Authorization
The N758 remark code indicates that an adjustment was made to the claim based on the decision made regarding prior authorization. This means the payer reviewed the prior authorization request and determined the amount to be adjusted accordingly.
How It Relates to the Denial
The N758 remark code typically accompanies a Claim Adjustment Reason Code that details the adjustment made. Together, they clarify the basis for the payment adjustment related to prior authorization decisions.
