What Does This Code Mean?

Informational remark: The patient is liable for the charges for this service as they were informed in writing before the service was furnished that we would not pay for it and the patient agreed to be responsible for the charges.

Recommended Next Steps

  1. This is an informational remark rather than a denial reason
  2. Review the specific alert text for any action it requests (e.g. an appeal deadline or refund obligation)
