What this denial means, and to whom
Which team should investigate first?
Route first to Utilization
The remittance carries CARC 96, and the claim was adjudicated by MERIDIAN HEALTH PLAN. The application maps CARC 96 to Utilization using the originating-area reference. This class of denial is corrected by Utilization rather than at registration. Check with that team before assuming a front-desk cause.
From: CARC 96 mapped to an owning department through the originating-area reference.
Limits: This is a routing recommendation, not a root-cause finding. The problem could arise from registration data, a later enrolment change, an interface mismatch, or the payer's own adjudication, and this mapping distinguishes none of them.
