MA130
Claim contains incomplete/invalid information — unprocessable, no appeal rights
What This Code Means
The claim could not be processed at all due to missing or invalid information; because it was never truly adjudicated, standard appeal rights don’t apply — it must be corrected and resubmitted instead.
Common Causes
- Required field left blank entirely
- Invalid patient or provider identifier submitted
How to Resolve or Appeal
- Identify the specific missing/invalid field (often referenced by an additional RARC)
- Correct and resubmit as a new claim, since an appeal is not the right pathway
- Audit clearinghouse edits to catch this before submission going forward
