N706 denial code: what it means and what to do

A remark code is not the denial. The adjustment code says the claim was reduced. This one says why. You need both to know what to send back.

What to do

Find out which document it means before you send anything. Read the adjustment code beside it and any request letter from the payer, then send that document in the format the payer asked for. If nothing names the item, call and get it named in writing. A separate remark, N705, covers documents that arrived but were incomplete or invalid.

Codes it appears with

N706 commonly rides alongside these. Our reading, not a published mapping: X12 publishes no adjustment-to-remark table.

Code	What that one means
CO 16	Something the payer needed was missing or wrong on the claim.
CO 252	The payer wants supporting documentation attached.
CO 226	The payer asked you for information and did not get it, or did not get enough.
