Remark code N380 indicates the original claim was processed; providers should submit a corrected claim for further review.
Remark code N380 indicates that the original claim has been processed, and in order to address any issues or corrections needed, the provider should submit a corrected claim.
Common causes of code N380 are errors or omissions in the original claim submission that necessitate corrections or additional information. This may include incorrect patient identification information, billing errors, missing documentation, or inaccurate procedure codes. Healthcare providers are advised to review the original claim for these discrepancies and submit a corrected claim with the necessary adjustments or additional details.
Ways to mitigate code N380 include ensuring that all claim details are accurate and complete before submission. Regularly training staff on the latest billing and coding updates can help avoid errors that necessitate corrections. Implementing a pre-submission claim review process can catch and correct errors before they reach the payer. Additionally, utilizing electronic health records (EHR) and billing software that automatically checks for common errors can reduce the likelihood of needing to submit a corrected claim.
The steps to address code N380 involve first reviewing the original claim to identify any errors or missing information that might have led to its rejection. Once the errors are identified, correct them directly on the claim form. If the correction involves adding or changing procedural or diagnostic codes, ensure that the documentation supports these changes. After making the necessary corrections, resubmit the claim as a corrected claim, ensuring to include any required notation or documentation that indicates it's a corrected submission. It's also advisable to check with the payer if they have specific requirements for submitting corrected claims, such as using a particular form or including a specific cover letter, to ensure compliance with their policies.
