CARC Analysis Parameters

  • Period: Users will enter a date range here for the search.
  • Date Type: Provides users a choice of three different dates to pull data by: 
    • Deposit: This is the deposit date of the deposit in question.
    • Posted: The post date of the deposit claim.
    • Service: The service date of the claim.
  • Posted Type: Allows users to select whether to see only posted deposit claims, only new ones, or both.
  • Location Type: This allows users to select whether they’re interested in filtering service or patient location.
  • Denied Type: This denotes whether the report will be looking at only denial information, or all CARC codes. By default, this report will only look at CARCs where the Denial box has been checked.
  • Report Level: Here users select the main grouping for the report – whether you want to see the data returned grouped by date, location, financial class, code class, payer, procedure, provider, or CARC.
  • Additional filters: This works like many other filters in the system, allowing users to filter down to certain financial classes, service locations, providers, and code classes. The only difference here is that users can also choose to only enter certain CARC codes if desired (for instance, if they want to look at information for only a particular denial).
