What this denial means, and to whom
Is the available evidence consistent with the stated reason?
No independent evidence for this reason
CARC 109 is not one this data can test. The cross-checks cover coverage assertions, against the 834, and authorisation assertions, against the 278. For every other reason the payer's statement stands unexamined here.
From: The CARC on this remittance, and the cross-checks available.
Limits: Absence of contradicting evidence is not agreement. This says only that the application holds no record able to test the assertion — not that the denial is correct.
